Lucy Crehan, CIES 2017
Based on research by Lucy Crehan on Exploring the impact of career models on teacher motivation, the review will look at whether a change in the administration of teacher career models could improve the quality of teaching in schools by motivating teachers and increasing the appeal of the profession. The findings underline that career structures should be designed in such a way that would encourage autonomous motivation of teachers, while at the same time holding teachers accountable for the quality of their teaching.

A review of Professional Learning Models over seven years to understand how best to structure Professional Learning Models for high transfer of transfer of skills into practice.
This is a highly condensed version of my general take on Competency Mapping - it is inspired my many Workshops and Talks I continue to give on the topic. Contrary to popular opinion, in the last 4-5 decades, the lingo on Competency Mapping has proliferated while the science (if there is one) has taken a backseat.

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.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
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.

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.

10. Challenges in Education!!
Globalization: Quality, Elearning, Standardization,….etc
Rapid changes and growth in all
sectors, and aspects
Culture
Diversity, Society, Family,…..all
impose challenges

learning, lack of
cooperation, lack of
resources, and in some cases
teachers lacking capabilities
and skills of teaching, are few
of the related problems to
mention.
Education and Development :
Education proves to be one of the best
sustainable development tools for
individuals, families, and societies.
Many researches and statistics relate
education with development
Education Is an INVESTMENT
11. What’s behind Research !!??
•
Investments in education for developing countries have a high return: from
25% – 30%. - Lockheed and Verspoor (2001)
•
Overall, the rate of return on 1 additional year of school is 10%, and the
highest returns are found in low and middle-income countries.
– Psacharapoulos and Patrinos (2002)
•
Quality education that produces 1 standard deviation increase in cognitive
skills can raise returns to as much as 48%.
EFA Global Monitoring Report (2006)
•
•
An increase in test scores by one standard deviation is associated with an
increase in annual growth in income per capita of 0.5 – 0.9% -Jamison
(2006)
•
Post primary education increases the likelihood of women securing a
formal wage earning job by 26%. -Sackey (2005)
12. What’s behind Research!!??
•
In a survey of over 60 studies on the impact of teacher education, a
statistically significant majority found that teacher education had an
impact on the effectiveness of their teaching.
– Hanushek (1995)
•
Small bonuses (3% of annual pay) to teachers for improving student’s
test scores encouraged an increase in scores by .19 standard
deviations in math, and .12 standard deviations in language.
– Muralidharan, Vankatesh (2006)
• Quality investments can well exceed (sometimes double) those
from increasing the average number of years of schooling.
– Jamison, Jamison, Hanushek (2006)
