The teacher implemented a new independent math program to provide more challenging activities for students. Students now have choice in the activities they complete and are accountable for their work. The teacher interviewed three students and learned they enjoyed having choice but did not like the daily ticking off system. The teacher reflected on whether the new activities are properly targeted and whether a weekly instead of daily system would be better. The next steps are to address the ticking off issue and consider weekly tasks with mandatory and optional activities.
Instructional Rounds Training (Sept. 19, 2013)ESMSTigers
Instructional rounds will take place on two levels this year. First, rounds will be an important part of small group reflection, where a team of teachers who share a common planning hour observe two classrooms a month. In this format teachers will look for descriptive evidence and avoid subjective speculation about practice. Small groups will use our faculty protocol form and will also look for evidence in support of NEE indicators 1.2, 4.1, 5.1, and 7.4. Second, rounds will be used by department chairs as a school-wide strategy to identify problems of practice. As defined by Roberts: "a problem of practice is a statement that describes the instructional problem that a school is struggling with and that serves as a focus for classroom observations" (page 4). Department chairs will conduct rounds twice this year (once each semester) to support our progress toward our building goals. The purpose of this practice is not evaluative, this practice will report broad trends for staff reflection from a school-wide perspective; no individual teacher data will be reported.

An Experiment in Every Student's "Favorite" Assignment: Forming Groups for a ...afacct
Many of our courses include a group project assignment that represents a significant portion of each student’s grade. We tell our students – and the presenter believes – that group projects are important because when students get into their careers they will often be called upon to work as part of a team or group. Practicing now, before they are in positions that really matter to them from a work perspective, will help them in the future. But no matter what we say, students tend to dread group projects for many reasons, including the way the groups are formed. For the first major group project of her career as an adjunct professor, Ms. Mead wanted to find a method that was deliberative and active – not random, nor completely student-selected, nor totally at her discretion. In her presentation, she described how she found an approach that appealed to her (using some basic technology), applied that approach to her First Year Seminar class, and kept track of the results. She discussed methods of forming groups for group projects; compared and contrasted the success of those methods; explained how she applied the method that most appealed to her and how her students reacted; and how it ultimately worked in terms of the overall success of the group projects. The presenter provided basic data regarding her assessment of the method’s success.

“Do you understand this concept? Does anyone have any questions?” Have you ever asked your class questions like these, received a room full of shy smiles or nods, and moved on only for it to become very obvious that a number of the students had not grasped the basics and further explanation?
While getting your students to pay attention can be a challenge, ensuring they have understood key concepts can be even more difficult. Listening does not equate with understanding, and as teachers, the sooner we can get a real feel for their actual level of understanding, the more we can help them succeed as students.
In these slides, Kimi Anderson will share some simple but effective strategies that teachers can implement to better gauge students’ level of understanding in the classroom. She will share some practical tips using various technology platforms and some useful approaches to group activities.
The idea of blended learning—combining digital curricula and tools with face-to-face instruction—for elementary grades is becoming more popular, and educators are finding it works particularly well in mathematics. Our guests will provide successful approaches for implementing this technique, including resources, strategies, and examples of instruction, as well as tips for modeling blended learning in elementary grade math.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
2. MY QLC FOCUS
IN MATHEMATICS…
Provide challenging independent learning
activities (especially to the high-end learners)
All learners will be catered for and
challenged in their learning
3. Why did I choose this topic?
Was a goal from my appraisal last year
I’m confident knowing the ‘next step’ for students on
the lower end of the curriculum
I want students to be more independent but be
working on tasks the challenge and push them (not
just busy, worksheet type tasks).
4. What I Hope to See?
Students engaged in independent tasks
Students taking on challenges in their learning
5. What Have I Done?
Changed my maths programme.
Using a different taskboard
Students have choice on what activities they do
Students are accountable for their learning by ‘ticking
off’ their completed activity.
6. Student Voice
I interviewed three students in the class (each from a
different math group).
I wanted to know what they thought of the new
programme.
I asked them questions that got them to reflect on the
old programme and the new programme and the
effect it had on them.
10. What Did I Learn From the
Interviews?
They all loved having the choice of what activities they got to
do.
What they don’t like about the current programme is the ‘ticking
off’ part (too crowded). *Possible solution – more whiteboard
markers or certain groups going at a time.
Add different activities to the taskboard
Take workshops (similar to writing) anyone can join in.
11. Reflective Questions
Are the students positive about the new programme just
because it is different?
All students enjoyed the new activities in the current
programme but, are these activities targeted to what they are
learning about?
Would it be more beneficial to use the taskboard so the
activities are ticked off weekly instead of daily?
If the programme becomes something that needs to be
completed weekly, would ‘MUST-DO’s’ and ‘CAN-DO’s’ be
effective?
12. Next Steps
Sort the ‘ticking off’ problem
Change some activities on the taskboard (e.g. strand
activities, written basic fact problems, maintenance
activities)
Weekly vs Daily?
Must-do’s and Can-do’s?
