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.
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

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.

– High Desert demographics have
and continue to change…
awareness and need to adapt to
students
4. Ruby Payne
• Fewer middleclass culture
students- more poverty culture

skills, and content
• CREATE RELATIONSHIPS WITH
STUDENTS… they NEED role
models
8. Essential Vocabulary

• Can ensure all are exposed to
info to help master
important academic content
9. • “Vocabulary knowledge is the
single best predictor of
academic achievement across
subject matter domains”
–Kate Kinsella
10. Don’t:
• Call on students to teach the
word first- teacher defines
word first and call on students
for examples
• Avoid dictionary definitions-
many are explanations with the
root word
11. Academic Toolkit
-Kinsella
• Averil Coxhead identified 570
high frequency words across
subjects
• Ranked into groups 1- 10, 1 being
the MOST frequently words
used
12. Level 1
• analyze approach area assess assume
authority available benefit concept consist
context constitute contract data define
derive distribute economy environment
establish estimate evident factor finance
formula function income indicate individual
interpret involve issue labor legal legislate
major method occur percent period
principle proceed process policy require
research respond role section sector
significant similar source specific
structure theory vary
13. Word Families
-Kinsella

15. 6 Components of
Successful Instruction
- Kinsella
• Advanced organizer
• Consistent instructional process
• Well organized presentation
• More time dedicated to important
academic words
• Visuals
• Student written record
16. 6 Steps of Vocabulary
Instruction
-Marzano
• Description, explanation, example
• Learner repeats in own words
• Illustration
• Activity
• Discuss
• Game
17. 1-The teacher will give a description,
explanation, or example of the new term.
• CFU, clear up student misconceptions
• Ask learners to share what they already
know to use this knowledge as a
foundation for more learning
• Utilize examples, descriptions, but not
definitions. Definitions are not a
recommended method for vocabulary
instruction as they do not provide
learners an informal, natural way to
learn new vocabulary
18. 2- The teacher will ask the learner to give a
description, explanation, or example of the
new term in his/her own words
• Remind students to use their own words,
CFU
• Re-teach if necessary
• Request that students record these in
their Academic Notebook. These
notebooks can travel with the learner as
he/she moves through each grade level
and become a compilation of vocabulary
terms mastered
19. 3- The teacher will ask the learner to
draw a picture, symbol, or locate a
graphic to represent the new term
• Provides learners a nonlinguistic method of
vocabulary mastery
• Share examples of other learners'
drawings or allow students to work in
teams to help those who complain that
cannot draw
• Illustrating terms through symbols,
drawing the actual term, illustrating with a
cartoon, or drawing an example of the
term should be encouraged
20. 4-The learner will participate in activities
that provide more knowledge of the words in
their vocabulary notebook
• Remind learners to not copy, but use
their own words
• Academic Vocabulary Worksheet to
assist learners in organizing their
vocabulary terms
• If ELL, provide an opportunity to
translate the word into their native
language (BabelFish).
21. 5- The learner will discuss the
term with other learners
• Pair-Share Strategy
• Inner-Outer Circle/Line Up
• Walk around
• Time-clock Appointments
22. 6- The learner will participate in games
that provide more reinforcement of the
new term
• Bingo, Twister, Fly Swat, Board Games,
Roll the Dice
• Walk around the room and check their
work when learners are working on their
Academic Vocabulary Worksheet and
check for accuracy
• Listen for misconceptions when learners
are playing games/activities
• Provide an opportunity for learners to
work together
24. Vocabulary Notebook
• Notebook or section devoted to
vocabulary
• Establish format
• Be consistent
• Student friendly def, pictures,
some application with word
28. Concept Circles
• Students are given a circle; each
quarter contains a word or phrase.
• Students must then describe or name
the concept to which all sections relate.
36. Bingo
• After having taught vocabulary go to the link to create
multiple BINGO game sheets and print out a class set.
• http://www.teach-
nology.com/web_tools/materials/bingo/5/
• On narrow strips of paper, write the words used in
generating the BINGO cards with their definition
separately.
• Fold the term strips and place into a container to mix and
pull from.
• Pass out the BINGO game sheets and “chips” to the
students (have them work in pairs at first and then on
their own).
• Pull a strip out and read the definition.
37.
38.
39.
40. List-Group-Label
• Select a key concept.
• Have a whole group discussion about “concept,”
show pictures illustrating concept, read a poem,
play a song or read a historical document.
• Ask students to list all the words they can think
of in connection with the concept.
• Divide the students into groups of 3 or 4.
• Ask them to combine their lists of words.
• Ask them to group all of the words into
categories and decide on labels for the
categories.
41.
42.
43.
44. T.H.I.E.V.E.S.
• T- Title: What is the title? What do I already know? What does it have
to do with the proceeding chapter? Does it express a point of view?
What do I think I will be reading about?
• H-Headings: What does the heading let me know? What is the topic?
How can I turn this heading into a question?
• I-Introductions: is there an opening, perhaps italicized? Does the first
chapter introduce the chapter? Do I know anything about this already?
• E-Every First Sentence: Read the first sentence of every paragraph.
• V- Visuals and Vocabulary: Are there photos, drawings, maps, charts,
or graphs? What can I learn from them? How do the captions help me
understand the meaning? Is there a list of key vocabulary terms? Are
there important words in bold? Do I know what they mean?
• E- End-of-Chapter-Questions: What do the questions ask? What
information is important? What information do I learn from the
question?
• S- Summary: Read the entire summary at the end of the chapter if
45. Advance Organizer
• Have students write the title of the reading.
• Have students write a question for each
title/subtitle using detail key words BEFORE
they read, leaving room to answer the question.
– Detail Key Words: Who?, What?, When?,
Where?, Why?, Which?, How?, How long?,
How much?, How many?
• ** Students must use each word above once
before they may use it again
• Have them answer the questions AS they read.
