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.
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

1. Southpointe Academy
A co-educational, non-denominational, independent day school in Tsawwassen, British Columbia
seeks educational leaders to fill the following new positions effective August 2013
Junior School Principal
Senior School Principal
Senior School Vice Principal
Introduction
Southpointe Academy announces attractive career opportunities for candidates with the right
experience and qualifications who are interested in pursuing management positions at the Junior
or Senior School levels. Southpointe Academy has evolved into an outstanding independent school
with a beautiful new campus to match its top-quality program. It is an exciting time to be a faculty
member at Southpointe Academy.
School History
Southpointe Academy was founded in 2000 in Tsawwassen, British Columbia, and re-founded by
the parents, following private ownership failure, in 2004. The school opened with 95 students in
Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 8 and now enrolls 530 students in Kindergarten to Grade 12. Over the
past 12 years, the school has grown in size, performance and stature: its graduates grace the halls
of many of the top universities in Canada, the United States, and beyond.
Organizational Structure
The school currently has three programs including the Foundation Years Program (K-5), the Middle
Years Program (Grades 6-8) and the Graduation Years Program (Grades 9-12), with a Team Leader
responsible for each section. In the 2013-2014 school year the school will create two new divisions
within the school, a Junior School (K-5) and a Senior School (Grades 6-12), each led by a Principal,
replacing the Team Leaders. Due to the size and complexity of the Senior School, a Vice Principal,
who will be responsible for Grades 6-8, will assist the Senior School Principal. The Principals and
Vice Principal will be the educational and administrative leaders for each new section of the school,
having authority over all employment and operational matters, including teacher evaluation and
faculty appointments and assignments. This is in part due to the large increase in population in the
past school year when the school grew from 400 to 530 students. Both Principals and the Vice
Principal will work closely with each other, students, parents, faculty and staff, and the Head of
School in managing their sections of the school.
Educational Program
The school offers a rigourous and balanced university-preparatory program, which is enriched with
an Honours Program Advanced Placement courses. The regular program consists of challenging
core courses and a broad range of electives. There is a learning support program provided through
the school’s Innovative Learning Centre for students with mild special learning needs. The
emphasis on the integration of technology in the instructional program is growing rapidly. The
2. school is authorized by the BC Ministry of Education through the Independent Schools Office and
is a member of the following organizations: Federation of Independent Schools Associations,
Independent Schools Association of BC, NAIS and PNAIS.
Student Body
Half of the student body comes from South Delta, BC, primarily from Ladner and Tsawwassen,
while the other half comes from the Vancouver suburbs of Richmond, Delta and South Surrey, and
Point Roberts, Washington. Expected enrolment in the 2013-2014 school year is 530 students: K-5
(205), Grades 6-8 (125) and Grades 9-12 (200). Students come from 7 different countries and as
they graduate, gain acceptance to universities around the world. Students hold high academic
expectations for themselves and a strong work ethic exists within the student body. Southpointe
parents are highly supportive of their children and the school.
Faculty
An inspirational faculty provides an outstanding instructional environment that motivates
students to be academically successful, globally minded, and well balanced. The faculty currently
consists of nearly 70 teachers and teaching assistants. Many teachers hold graduate degrees and
several have taught internationally.
Facilities
The school relocated to its new building in Tsawwassen in January 2012. This state-of-the-art
campus is modern, technologically advanced and purposefully designed for contemporary
teaching and learning needs. Its bright, eco-friendly classrooms, offer an inviting learning
environment. The school has a 200-seat theatre, double gymnasium, fitness centre, contemporary
science labs, library, art and music rooms and a media arts classroom. With its new campus, the
school has significantly enhanced its learning environment and educational program and increased
its capacity to around 550 students.
