A parenting style is a psychological construct representing standard strategies that parents use in their child rearing. The quality of parenting can be more essential than the quantity of time spent with the child. For instance, a parent can spend an entire afternoon with his or her child, yet the parent may be engaging in a different activity and not demonstrating enough interest towards the child. Parenting styles are the representation of how parents respond and demand to their children. Parenting practices are specific behaviors, while parenting styles represent broader patterns of parenting practices
Discipline is not a punishment as most of us think. Through effective discipline children can get to learn how to cooperate with others and how to manage their own behavior.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

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

Restorative practice
1. Why restorative practice?
Consider this..
“If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach
If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach
If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach
If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach
If a child doesn’t know how to behave we …
Teach? Or punish?”
2. We are in the business of relationship
building not behaviour management.
• Therefore we should be teaching and
modeling pro social behaviour.
3. Relational bank account
Deposits Withdrawals
Seeks first to understand Seeks first to be understood
Keeping promises Breaking promises
Clarifying expectations Violating expectations
Kindnesses and courtesies Unkindnesses and discourtesies
Loyalty to the absent Disloyalty duplicity
Apologies Pride/ conceit/ arrogance
Open to feedback Rejecting feedback
• Time spent on relationships is time invested in our school
• We need to teach connections that are face to face because they are so much more
meaningful than online connections.
• We have to get relationships right first so there is something right to resort to.
• Our job in the classroom is to get the relationships in the room to the point where our
akonga care about the impact of their behavior on others.
4. Fundamental concepts of Restorative
Practice
• Misconduct is a violation of people and
relationships that leads to disconnectivity.
• Violations create obligations and liabilities
• Restorative Practice seeks to heal and put
things right.
5. Changing our mindsets
Retributive Justice Restorative Justice
Crime and wrongdoing are violations
against the laws/ rules: What laws/ rules
have been broken?
Crime and wrongdoing is a violation of
people and relationships: Who has been
harmed? In what way?
Blame must be apportioned: Who did it? Obligations must be recognized: Whose
are these?
Punishments must be imposed: What do
they deserve?
How can be harm be repaired?
6. Golden rules of Restorative Practice
• Listen first- be quiet, what’s the story behind the story?
• Don’t tell what you can ask
• Think about outcomes before deciding on strategy- consequence
should teach what we want the child to learn, must be designed to
build social capital.
• Develop empathy by helping them to understand what harm has
been done.
• Work on making things right rather than punishment.
• Contact parents early and ask for their support, i.e. what they want
for their child.
• Kids brains are a work in progress.
• Don’t assume all children come to school with the ability to de code
value systems.
• Never make home wrong.
10. Scenario
• Scenario 1:
Lisa is approached by a tearful middle school
student in the playground who states that her
lunch is missing from her lunchbox again. Lisa
notices David peering around the corner
watching proceedings. Several children say they
saw David taking the lunch and Lisa knows there
is a history of similar behaviour.
11. Do’s and don’ts
Do:
• Calm voice
• Calm, relaxed and connected.
• Sit or walk along side during discussions
• Going down to the child’s level
• Give child something to play with if appropraite
• Insist on person responsible for talking first, person harmed second, no one can interrupt.
• Keep restorative meeting to 20 minutes or less
• Ask of both partipants is there anything else youd like to say
• Make a time to check in with all parties ( follow up with children, parents)
Don’t:
• Be angry this leads to distress and hyper vigilance
• Tell children to look at you when you’re talking to them, too confronting, leads to child shutting
down.
• Dogged pursue restorative mediation if all parties are not calm and willing to participate.
• Ask why, stick to the script
12. Scenario 2
• Ben takes his class rugby ball outside to play.
Jacob is told he can’t play as the game is full.
He picks up the ball and runs away with it. Ben
follows and asks for the ball back and is
verbally abused by Jacob. The duty teacher
comes across the boys on top of each other
fighting.
Discuss and Role play this in your groups
Editor's Notes
Restorative values to be embedded in our relationships are: participation, respect, honesty, humility, interconnectedness, accountability, empowerment – ‘Power of One’ Agreements -
I.e. a working lunch is a direct consequence of not doing work, rather than writing out lines for pushing someone over.
Make sure you have all facts before speaking to parents, don’t make judgements based on previous behaviours.
