For example: today is the 50th day of school. We have invited parents in to a sock hop to celebrate this afternoon. The cover charge is a pair of socks to donate to the Comea Shelter. Next Wednesday we have a chili, chicken noodle soup, and bingo night …. Just for fun! This is not a fundraiser.

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.
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.

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.

Superintendent's Bulletin 5-20-11

Bella T. Wong Bulletin #33
Superintendent of Schools May 20, 2011
The Superintendent’s Bulletin is posted weekly on Fridays on our website. It provides timely, relevant
information about meetings, professional development opportunities, curriculum and program development,
grant awards, and School Committee news. The bulletin is also the official vehicle for job postings. Please
read the bulletin regularly and use it to inform colleagues of meetings and other school news.
, Dear Colleagues,
On opening day I introduced a District-wide Equity Action Plan to narrow documented student achievement
gaps by race, gender, disability or socio-economic status. The plan's objective was to create a bridge for
the pertinent work already happening across the schools, as well as to help make clear where next steps
should be taken. There are eleven sections to the Action Plan:
• Documentation of gap data
• Develop and implement common assessments
• Develop tiered intervention strategies
• Review curriculum and instruction for relevancy
• Monitor and support student engagement
• Create culture to support appropriate and important intellectual risk taking
• Prepare a technology plan to support instruction
• Professional development
• Apply research
• Monitor progress and adjust strategies until success is achieved
While our work in this area is just beginning, there is already some particularly good news. With federal
stimulus funds, we were able to pilot an initiative using AIMSWeb technology to support increased
frequency of formative assessments of reading levels in Grade 2. Based on those assessments, we were
able to apply targeted interventions, which we continue to develop, check for impact and adjust if no
improvement was noted. We have just now been able to summarize the year-to-date data compiled across
the seven elementary schools. Although this is the result of still less than a year, the results are so truly
remarkable, they merit being shared even now with all of you.
There were 412 Grade 2 students who participated in this pilot. The pilot was implemented by each of the
Grade 2 teachers with the support of our literacy specialists, elementary principals, and consultant
Leslie Laud, under the oversight of Becky McFall. As of mid-May, all but four students have met or
exceeded second grade level benchmarks. With appropriate RTI assessments and applied interventions,
research provides that typically 5 percent of students may still need Tier 3 interventions and possible SPED
referral. Our data for this year is below 1 percent.
This certainly qualifies for a hoot, a holler and a yahoo!
These are amazing results for ALL of our students. Frankly, they are so amazing, it may be difficult to
maintain on an annual basis. However, they give us much to look forward to. Congratulations to our
students. Kudos to our educators who have helped us embark on this important work toward narrowing
achievement gaps and improving outcomes for all of our students. Your work
inspires and encourages us all.
