The processes and pedagogies for promoting creativity and creative thinking are often described as problem-based and inquiry learning. āGenericā design processes such as ādesign thinkingā (IDEO2011) are also proposed as being somehow common to creative processes. However most of these models arose from graphic design and visual arts traditions, so do these models actually take account of the specific strengths and opportunities for cultivating creativity through drama? What does it mean to engage in a creative process as a dramatist or a dramatic pedagogue? How does a consideration of dramatic form and process shape experience and impact on the visioning and imagining processes? This presentation investigates the concerns and considerations of the creative process in drama processes, play building and writing to propose embracing the concept of ādramatic thinkingā.

Rolling Role Roundtable - Research and Reflections from The Water Reckoning P...Sue Davis
Ā
The Water Reckoning project was initiated to involve young people, teachers and academics in a creative project which drew on Dorothy Heathcoteās philosophy and strategies. Together the groups have co-constructed a story that responds to a common pre-text. Educational and research sites have been involved from Australia, Greece, Singapore, the USA and the UK. This project has focused on exploring ideas that relate to the UN Year of Water Cooperation in keeping with Heathcoteās concern for using drama to raise awareness about human understanding and experience. For her drama had to be about things āthat matteredā. Our drama has explored how humans cooperate to share and manage water and deal with situations such as drought or extreme weather events. Research has explored the nature of learnings and understandings that have emerged for participants from the process, including cross-cultural awareness and attitudes towards sustainability issues.
This presentation was for my paper "Transformative learning: revisiting Heathcote and Vygotsky for the digital age" presented at the IDEA Congress in Paris, July 2013.
(Some additional text had been added and video clips removed in this version). As an education academic who spent many years as a drama teacher it has been an interesting journey for me to find those theorists, scholars and master practitioners whose work resonates for me, and who articulated principles and truths that I had also discovered for myself.
For both Heathcote and Vygotsky, learning was a social process that recognized the importance of individual interactions with knowledgeable others and peers. Learning was not conceived of as transmission but a mediated activity involving symbolic and psychological tools. In both cases the way they conceived of childrensā learning potential was predicated on valuing what they could do and become through interactions with concepts and artefacts from cultures.
In this paper I will identify several themes in work by Vygotsky and Heathcote and explore their relevance to a recent project I have been involved in. The Water Reckoning Project was a process-based drama project enacted across five school sites around the world. It involved the use of digital technologies for capturing and sharing creative work and facilitating networked communicaitons and performative acts. The use of digital technologies increase the repertoire of potential tools available for transformative learning - with the teacher's role still remaining an active one - as the curator and designer of aesthetic encounters.
Rolling Role Roundtable - Water Reckoning Project (slideshare version)Sue Davis
Ā
At IDIERI 7 Pam Bowell proposed the initiation of an international collaboration that would focus on using Heathcoteās strategies (including one called āRolling Roleā) and digital communications and platforms. The concept was to create a drama involving young people from several different countries in responding to the same dramatic stimulus or pre-text, with the drama culminating at the Heathcote Reconsidered conference.
The concept of Rolling Role is to involve different groups or classes in building a community that then faces some kind of change. The initiators create a common context and agree to the key features, affairs and concerns of the community. The students/children are then involved in building the community, the lives, events and artefacts of it and add to developments. Work is often left incomplete so another group can take it forward and continue the drama. Heathcote suggested this work lends it self to sharing through something like a website.
This roundtable will focus on the development of the dramatic frame and pre-text. It will identify the implications for creating work within contemporary school systems and the affordances as well as issues which emerge from working with digital technologies in these contexts.

In this UN year of water cooperation, it is important to examine what are some of the water issues humanity is facing and how important human cooperation is for dealing with these problems. This presentation has been created in particular for a drama education project 'The Water Reckoning'.
This introduces 'The Water Reckoning' drama project - an international collaboration to explore the application of strategies drawn from the work of legendary drama teacher Dorothy Heathcote. This project will occur from April - June in the lead up to the Heathcote Reconsidered conference in London in July. http://www.water-reckoning.net
George Landen Dann was one of Queensland's first major playwrights, writing plays for the stage and radio from the 1930s to the 1970s. He was also one of the first (white) Australian playwrights to write about Indigenous issues, with his first major work 'In Beauty It Is Finished' being the subject of significant controversy when first staged in 1931. Many of his works have never been published before but in 2013 Playlab is publishing several for the first time as part of their 'New Vintage Collection' http://www.playlab.org.au . I have been researching his life and works and written introductions to those works. If you are interested in my journey of discovery see http://neomemoriatechnica.wordpress.com/by-george/

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
Ā
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.
ā¢ 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.
ā¢ 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 āany matterā at āany timeā under House Rule X.
ā¢ 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

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
Ā
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 wasnāt 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.
