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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

2. Introduction
• Success, what is it?
• What does the literature say about successful education?
• What do remote school respondents say it is?
• How should it be taught?
• What are the implications for systems?

3. Generalisations about remote education
• Problematic, intractable (Wilson 2014)
• Difficult to manage and resource (Ladwig and Sarra 2010)
• Failing (Hughes and Hughes 2012)
• Falls short of targets and benchmarks (ACER 2013, Atelier 2012)
So to address this we look for
• ‘What works’ (What Works: The Work Program 2012)
• Closing gaps (FaHCSIA 2013)
• Overcoming disadvantage (SCRGSP 2014)
• Removing obstacles (O’Keefe, Only and Angus 2012)

4. How the dominant discourse frames success
• Successful learning
• Melbourne Declaration (2008)
• National Education Agreement (2012)
• Measurement framework (2012)
• Successful teaching
• Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL)
Australian Professional Standards for Teachers (2010)
• Successful systems
• ‘Raising productivity is a key focus of COAG’s agenda…education and
training are critical’ (COAG 2012)
• Students First (DET 2015)
• Influence of international comparisons (Jenson 2012, COAG Reform
Council 2013)

5. RES project Aim
• To find out how remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
communities can get the best benefit from the teaching and learning
happening in and out of schools.
Research questions
• What is education for and what can/should it achieve?
• What defines ‘success’ from the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait
Islander standpoint?
• How does teaching need to change to achieve ‘success’?
• What would an effective education system in remote Australia look
like?

6. RES Project data sources
• Publicly available datasets (my school and Census)
• Community surveys in 10 remote communities
• Observations from site visits in 3 jurisdictions (WA, SA, NT)
• Engagement of over 200 remote education stakeholders in
research processes (20 Thinking Outside The Tank sessions)
• Dare to Lead Snapshots in 31 Very Remote schools
• Reading of the relevant research literature
• 6 Post-graduate research projects in progress

11. Implications for measures of successful remote
schooling
Attendance and academic outcomes are identified by remote respondents,
but there is little connection between these measures and system responses
or teaching responses.
‘Parent involvement and role models in education’ could be seen as a
measure of success in its own right or as a precursor to other measures of
success.
There are ample references in the broader literature about the important role
of communities in schools.
11
12. How could you measure parent and community
involvement?
• Is there a school council with community representation?
• Does the school have parent-teacher days/events? How many attend?
• Is there a school policy that actively pursues employment of local
educators? How many have been employed as a result?
• Do parents meet with teachers? What proportion of parents have contact?
• Are community members involved in extra-curricular activities?
• Are community members employed at the school?
• What practices are in place in the school to build relationships between
local and non-local staff?
• Do parents or community members help with reading to children?
• Is there local adaptation of curriculum?
• Are community members involved in recruitment of new staff?
• Are teachers competent with local languages?
• Do teachers and non-local staff engage with organisations outside of
school?
12
13. System and teaching responses
Workforce development issues include employment, support and training of
local community members to work in remote schools, training and
recruitment of new teachers, and professional development and systemic
support of existing staff.
Parent and community empowerment means putting structures in place that
allow local decision making, inclusion of contextually and culturally relevant
content in curricula: ‘red dirt curriculum’
Putting these structures in place is not a kind of magic bullet that will fix the
perceived problems of remote education. We believe though, that they will
contribute to the kind of success that is desired by remote community
members.
13
14. Conclusions
• Our findings run counter to the views of success that are promoted
by the dominant national discourse
• Codified measures of successful outcomes vs parent involvement
• To achieve community views of success:
• Giving power to parents and communities
• Building local and non-local workforce capacity
• Successful teaching:
• set of qualities and skills will be found in the collaborative efforts of local
and non-local staff,
• a contextualised curriculum and in two-way approaches
• building on and respect local languages and cultures.

16. Questions for discussion
1. If we conceive success differently, does it matter that the ‘other’
view of success might not be achieved?
2. If we pursued remote understandings of success, what might be
the implications? What would likely follow?
3. Is it possible to hold two different views of success in balance?
4. Given the inevitability of change, should we also expect remote
views of success to change?
5. Supposing a young person achieves the ‘other’ view of success,
where does that leave their relationship with community?
6. What are the costs of a successful education for a young person
living in a remote community?
