STEM education consists of a curriculum based on the idea of educating students in four specific disciplines — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — in an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to learning that provides hands-on and relevant learning experiences for students. STEM education is vital to Mitchell County because the majority of industry and business in our area need and require employees with STEM skills.
Which inclusive practices do early childhood programs need to master in order to welcome and support all learners? This engaging presentation reveals the keys to effective inclusion for young children! Presented by Kathryn Wahl, Director of the Santa Clara County Office of Education’s (SCCOE) Inclusion Collaborative Department, this presentation introduces you to the 12 inclusive practices with the strongest research base for supporting young children in inclusive programs.
Discover how each key practice—from conflict resolution to transitions between activities—contributes to successful, high-quality inclusion. Kathryn also shares how she’s used the Inclusive Classroom Profile (ICP™) with early childhood programs to effectively assess their inclusive practices and take steps toward improving them. Head start professionals, inclusion facilitators, early childhood/ECSE directors and administrators, and special education educators will benefit from this presentation.

Webinar: Making the Case for Early STEM Learning- 2016-11-02TechSoup
Explore how to make a stronger case for early STEM experiences. A FrameWorks research into American public thinking revealed that people assume that science, technology, engineering, and math are highly specialized areas of knowledge that aren’t appropriate for young learners. In turn, this limits public support for the policies, funding, and programs that can foster early learning in these vital areas. We'll discuss and explore proven, practical ways for early childhood advocates to talk about why and how early STEM matters.

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.
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.
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.
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.

Science,
Technology,
Engineering,
and
Math.
• Fun
Fact:
Na9onal
Science
Founda9on
(NSF)
began

“SMET”
as
shorthand
for
“science,
mathema9cs,
engineering,
&
technology”
in
90s.
• An
NSF
program

13. And
the
“A”
in
STEAM?
• Many
people
propose
using
the
term
STEAM
where
the
A
indicates
the

• This
is
suggested
as
individuals

also
be

Dr.

learning
trajectories
that

and
embedded

are
a
cri9cal
facet
of
effec9ve
early
STEM
educa9on:
“STEM
learning
trajectories
start
with
a
goal
and
involve
a
developmental
progression—students’
successive
levels
of
thinking
related
to
the
goal.
Based
on
their
understanding
of
students’
thinking,
teachers
fine-‐tune
ac9vi9es

help
students
move
along
the
developmental
progression
to

the
goal.”
