The Progressive Era saw widespread reforms from the 1890s to the 1920s to address issues arising from rapid industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption. Progressives advocated solutions through government action and regulation to curb the excesses of big business, protect workers and consumers, and bring democratic reforms. Notable achievements included strengthening antitrust laws, creating food and drug safety agencies, establishing women's suffrage, and advancing workers' rights.

Foner Ch 12
An Age of Reform 1820-1840
Introduction: Abby Kelley
An abolitionist banner
*
Abolitionism was one of many antebellum efforts to reform American society. Lacking a powerful national government, Americansâ political and social activities were organized through tens of thousands of voluntary associations, such as churches, fraternal orders, and political clubs. Americans established groups to prevent the making and selling of liquor, end public entertainments and mail delivery on Sunday, improve prisons, expand public education, improve working conditions, and reorganize society on a cooperative rather than competitive basis.
Most of these groups worked to convert public opinion in their favor. They lectured, petitioned, and published pamphlets. Many reformers confronted more than one issue. While some reform campaigns flourished throughout the nation, others, like labor reform and abolitionism, never took hold in the South. Reform was international, and many groups created ties with reformers in Europe.
Reformers tried a variety of tactics, from âmoral suasionâ to using government power to force changes in othersâ behavior. Some reformers withdrew from society altogether and established their own communities. While never a majority, reformers significantly influenced American politics and society.

Q: In what ways did abolitionism lend vision to the anti-slavery movement? How did the abolitionists expand the idea of American freedom and American citizenship at the same time?
A: The abolitionists in the 1830s, '40s, and '50s were a very small number of men and women. They certainly were nowhere remotely near a majority of northern public opinion. Nonetheless, they had a powerful enduring impact on ideas of freedom and citizenship because the abolitionists were the first organized group to really put forward the idea of equal rights before the law for all persons regardless of race. That didn't exist; we take that for granted today, but that didn't exist. There was no place in the United States at that time where black people enjoyed equality before the law, not even in Massachusetts, where they came close. But more to the point, the abolitionists insisted that African-Americans had to be recognized as part of the American people, part of the American nation, citizens to be given the same rights as everybody else. The slaves should be freed and incorporated into American life. Now most people at that time when the abolitionist movement began who were against slavery were colonizationists, like Jefferson, and like Lincoln for much of his life. They believed slaves should become free, but they should then be sent out of the country to Africa, to the Caribbean, to Central America. They could not conceive of an interracial society of equals. The abolitionists were the first ones to put forward that ideal as a goal, freeing the slaves and also incorporating them as equals, and therefore redefining A.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Â
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasnât one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation âBlue Starâ is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Â
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Progressive Movement
ī¨ What were the guiding principles of Populism
ī¨ After Populism, citizens saw the possibilities of
reform through government
ī¨ Populist success in local and national
elections encouraged others to seek change
through political action
ī¨ Building on Populismâs achievements and
adopting some of its goals, Progressives
dominated the first two decades of 1900âs.

ī¨ First to use the Sherman Antitrust Act
successfully against monopolies
ī¤ Aka the âTrustbusterâ
Also tightened food and drug regulations, created
national parks, among other things

Progressivism
ī¨ During his time as President, he pushed two
amendments through:
ī¤ One instituting a national income tax
ī¤ Another allowing for direct election of senators

movement was brought to an end by its own
success!
ī¨ There were no more crusades left to fight for!
