The teacher considers several factors when planning lessons, including students' English proficiency level, lesson length, class size, and ministry standards. Group work is used to encourage cooperation and help weaker students by pairing them with stronger peers. A variety of learning strategies are employed based on student needs, including pair share to reduce anxiety for weaker students participating in class.

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.
1. WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OR GOAL OF A PORTFOLIO IN YOUR COUNTRY?
In Argentina, teachers are not required to use portfolios in public schools.
However, most of us keep a collection of activities that have worked well, texts that we, or our students,
found interesting, records of songs or movies that have proven to be useful or fun to be used in class,
some outstanding students' productions...with no purpose other than resorting to them any time they
become handy.
As regards certificates of seminars, lectures, courses we have attended or delivered, we collect them
and present them to the Ministry of Education once a year; they are given a score and a card is issued.
With this card -that contains information as: your name, area of teaching, and score- a teacher goes to
every school where there is a vacancy and presents the card: the teacher with the highest score, gets
the job -in an Argentinean public school, each group has 3 periods of English a week. They are offer as a
package-
In private schools, nothing of this applies. And, in some private schools, teachers are required to have a
portfolio. But it is not common.
2. FIELDWORK AT HOLMES MIDDLE SCHOOL
First day at school
September 30th
I remember my first day at Holmes Middle School as one full of smiling faces, information, different
timetables, and expectations.
My fellows and I arrived early and were welcomed by one of the teachers and the principal, Mr. Pamas,
with kind words, presents and even some snacks. In that first meeting, they told us about the school, the
classes, and the students. After a few minutes, they accompanied each of us to the assigned classroom.
My mentor, Mrs. Nadherny, gave me a warm welcome to her class, we talked for just a few minutes and
then, I devoted my morning to observe each part of the lesson, each corner of the classroom, each
activity Mrs. Nadherny presented to the students and each instance of their participation.
Mrs. Nadherny’s in an ESOL teacher that teaches Science, this year, to sixth-graders. In her two groups
there are gifted students as well as special needs kids. She manages to assist every one of them in the
best possible way. That first morning the lesson was about the two systems to measure temperature:
Farenheit and Celsius.
Mrs. Nadherny’s students excelled my expectations as the ones that finished first waited patiently for
the rest: they just went to the reading corner and stayed there, quietly, until the class was ready to
check the activity. They did so in a very ordered way: no one spoke until the teacher called their names.
They commented and gave their opinions in a nice way, showing respect to their teacher.
I have to point out that Mrs. Nadherny is a very resourceful and creative teacher that makes the most of
every lesson. In her classroom there are lots of books, videos, flash cards, puzzles, technological
equipment, etc… that makes the Science lesson easier to develop and more enjoyable. At 11.30, Mrs.
Nadherny has a long break, so she took me on a tour of the school and showed me the cafeteria. We
stayed talking for a while.
When I was in the taxi with my fellows on our way to George Mason University, I commented how lucky
I felt that Mrs. Nadherny was my mentor. I already knew that day that I was going to learn a lot from
her, apart from the fact that 37 degrees Celsius –the body temperature- equal 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit…
3. WHAT FACTORS DOES THE TEACHER CONSIDER IN PLANNING?
When I plan a lesson, I always take into account, first of all, my students’ level of English proficiency.
This, together with the length of the lesson, the class size and the objectives determine the class of
activities to include. I cannot exclude national standards the Ministry of Education of my province
suggests, but they are just the framework.
When I plan the lessons for my elementary school students, I usually also consider the other teachers’
plans because we work in an articulated way, so that at the end of the term, we can put up a show:
parents come to school and they see their children doing what they have learned. But this collaborative
work between teachers is not usual in middle or high schools, unluckily.
HOW CAN GROUP WORK AID YOUR TEACHING?
In my class, I usually make my students work in groups so that they can value cooperation: in real life,
we always work with others, sharing, collaborating. Students ought to know that success is more
meaningful if it is shared with the people they are usually with.
I usually try to mix people in the groups so that they establish a good working relationship with every
mate and strong students can help weaker ones.
It is a good way to lower the affective filter in those students who are beginning, weaker or more timid,
and, at the same time, it makes it possible to work with different learning styles in the class.
HOW DO YOU USE LEARNING STRATEGIES IN YOUR TEACHING?
In my lessons I use learning strategies to get the best out of every student so that they can acquire each
item of content as fully as possible.
When I am planning my lessons, I analyze the group’s needs, strengths and interests so that the learning
strategies that are used in the lesson are the most appropriate.
I guess that one of the strategies I have seen in the program that would be easy to adopt with my
students is pair share: it allows weaker students to participate without the usual anxiety they feel when
they express themselves in front of the whole class.
