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.

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.

Operation “Blue Star” 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.

This is the curriculum model – this was relaunched last year along with MYP and DP to increase coherence. Red arrows point to common elements.
The IB programmes are values laden, unlike other systems that may have a hidden curriculum the LP articulates those values as attributes or outcomes.
If you would like the Learner Profile in another language please email:jharmer@rchk.edu.hkIt is available in Chinese from the RCHK website.
These are the three aspects we will explore – written, taught and assessed curriculum
Know implies facts while concepts implies generalisations – connecting/grouping facts.Students still need to know things however this may be temporary knowledge – the conceptual knowledge and bigger ideas are what we hope will stick.
Key Concepts – transdisicplinaryRelated concepts – disciplinary - eg. Tone – concept within the arts
Topics and knowledgeConcepts
Each of these skill areas will prepare students to be life long learners and problem solvers.These can all be supported at home.
Aim of learning is action
Inquiry
One of the differences you might see in a PYP classroom is students working together. In the same way that teachers collaborate to plan, students will collaborate to complete tasks, solve problems, come to decisions or to support each other by offering feedback. This develops their social skills and cognitive skills as they have to verbalisetheir reasoning.
Because this helps them tailor the teaching for student needs.
Our aim is to publish via the school website the end of year outcomes for maths and language for each year group. This will show you which ones we have chose to report on – via written report or portfolios. It gives you an overview of the END OF YEAR expectations within each year group.
