This document outlines a plan to implement a student leadership program called PALS (Peer Ambassadors, Leaders, and Supporters) at TRACE CROSSINGS elementary school. It describes selecting 4th grade students to serve as peer helpers and providing them with training. The goals are to identify and train student leaders to help peers, address parent requests, and create leadership opportunities. Students would assist younger students in classes, at lunch, and with community service. Training would teach empathy, listening skills, and set up communication with parents and students. The program is based on Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People".
How do we ensure that every student has an adult advocate who understands and guides his/her academic and social development? In this session, we will answer that question by examining how we build strong advisory and advocacy programs in our middle schools.
Continuing the conversation of what makes a difference in literacy each day for all learners. This session focused on 2 whole class strategy sequences, conferences and reading trains.

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.
This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
3. Be Proactive
I observed a need to address how to better
provide leadership opportunities.
– One opportunity – a peer helper, ambassador-
type role. In past, reading buddies, etc.
– Parent perception
5. Begin With The End in Mind
What Are Our Most Pressing Needs?
• There was no coordinated system to identify,
select, and train students to learn skills to
become better leaders.
– Parent request
– Teacher/administrator input
7. Put First Things First
• 4th Grade
• 25% of grade were peer helpers making it
difficult to provide meaningful leadership
activities
8. Think Win, Win
• Several options to consider for
identification, selection, training
• Spring of 3rd grade/beginning of school in August for
identification and selection. Training is the week
prior to school and 2x month during club time.
10. Seek First to Understand, Then to be
Understood
• How to improve leadership opportunities?
• a)By using tools and information acquired in
the NAPPP (National Association for Peer
Program Professionals) conference
• TCES book study group which focused on the
book, The Leader in Me
• A site visit to Priceville Elementary School, a
Leader in Me Lighthouse School.
12. Synergize
• Kindergarten classes
• PE classes – Kindergarteners
• Lunchroom – breakfast and lunch
• All classrooms – for new students
• Lunch bunch
• Newcomer’s Club
• Garden
• Community Service projects
13. PALS TRAINING AT TCES
Sharpen The Saw
• Set up communication system/plan for
parents/students
• Schedule designated days/make-up days prior to
school starting
• Incorporate team-building activities, teach
information about empathy, active listening,
confidentiality
• On-going training (i.e. bi-monthly during club
time)
• Add some fun, food, and PALS t-shirts!

16. Be Proactive
Why Peer Helping? Peer helping is
effective as prevention or intervention
strategy related to social problems.
Begin with the End in Mind
What are our most pressing needs? What
are our measurable goals?
Put First Things First
How will we select our Peer Helpers? How
will they be identified?
What activities will they be involved in?
What materials/supplies do I need?
What is my budget?
Think Win/Win
How will I train our Peer Helpers?
What activities will facilitate group
bonding?
17. Seek First to Understand, Then to Be
Understood
Where will I get professional development
as a Counselor/Teacher Facilitator?
How will we pursue
administration/faculty buy-in?
Synergize
Who on the faculty might be willing to co-
facilitate?
Is feeder pattern student training an
option?
