Inuit Values and Worldview: Their Importance in Protecting the Arcticgarryenns
Inuit culture, values, and beliefs informed the negotiations that established the territory of Nunavut in 1999. The
Nunavut Land Claims Agreement and the Inuit Impact Benefit Agreements (IIBA) ensured the rights and values of
the Inuit would be the foundation for the decisions and actions of all governments, associations, and businesses in
the Territory of Nunavut. This workshop will explore the Inuit values and beliefs that resulted in the protection of the
environment through the creation of a network of protected areas in Nunavut. The workshop also will look at the
significance of traditional knowledge; the strength of Inuit culture and values; and how this knowledge and these
values have helped Parks Canada—and the Government of Nunavut—establish significant protected areas as
reflected by the size and number of Parks in the Territory. This workshop will include an examination of the National
Park Co-Management system, which was established by the IIBA's that governs all of the Nunavut FIeld Unit's
planning and decision-making processes in the management of four amazing national parks in Canada's Arctic. The
session also will familiarize participants with the system of Inuit Beliefs and Values—often referred to as "IQ"—and
how the Nunavut curriculum is based on these values and beliefs. Parks Canada presenter(s) also will share the
challenges and the opportunities they face in building a parks and heritage sites network in a remote territory with a
culture in transition, e.g. trying to work in THREE official languages.

What barriers have you broken? What do you want your legacy to be? For inspiration, here are 10 Latinas who broken various barriers and have left their legacy in America.
The Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University was created in 1990, formally recognizing fifty years of informal cooperation between the two universities. The geographic proximity of the campuses—just nine miles apart—greatly encourages and facilitates regular collaboration among faculty and students. The UNC and Duke Consortium has received major funding from the Andrew W. Mellon, Ford, and Tinker Foundations. Since 1991 it has been designated a Title VI National Resource Center (NRC) by the U.S. Department of Education.

This is intended for an hour long discussion on ways that companies, organizations, and institutions of learning can foster healthy environments that support people from all walks of life. In the United States, we often assume standards of professionalism are universal but these standards are based on out-dated Western European, white, and wealthy communities. Unintentionally, many organizations create a hostile environment for their team members who come from identities that fall outside of those dominant identities. Use the topics and resources from this presentation to see what ways your institution can create a healthier, happier, and more inclusive space for all of your community members.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
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 wasn’t 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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
