Research and experience show that the personality of a top sales person exhibits a balance of ego drive (a deep inner need for self-gratification) and empathy (an ability to relate to people and act for their benefit). Likewise, in a good leader, we see a balance between a concern for production and a concern for the people (Management Grid, Blake and Mouton).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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.
• 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.
• 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 “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• 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

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.

Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
2. Aim
To explore indicators of quality related to curriculum,
assessment and pedagogy for pupils in secondary schools
who need to catch up with reading.
Slide 2
3. This footer is edited in >Insert > Header & Footer Slide 3
To fulfil the demands of
the secondary school
curriculum, pupils need to
be able to read age-
appropriate fiction and
non-fiction texts fluently.
5. What does it take to become a fluent reader?
Accuracy
Decoding unfamiliar words
by saying the sounds
corresponding to the letters
and blending the sounds
together.
Slide 5
Automaticity
Reading familiar words
‘at a glance’.
Pupils develop this by re-
reading words that they
have first sounded out and
blended.
6. How do pupils become accurate and automatic
word readers?
Slide 6
Accuracy
Through phonics, pupils
learn the alphabetic code.
This allows them to decode
any unfamiliar words they
come across.
Automaticity
Once pupils can decode a
word accurately, they need
the right quality and
quantity of practice so that
they can read it
automatically.
7. Accurate word reading – the alphabetic code
Slide 7
Phonics is a body of knowledge, not a pedagogy.
Regardless of age, special educational need or background,
the same alphabetic code knowledge and phonics skills
underpin all reading.
Understanding the alphabetic code, that the letters on the
page represent the sounds in spoken words, underpins
successful word reading.
8. Accurate word reading – the alphabetic code
Slide 8
Some people work out the alphabetic code for themselves
eventually, but too many do not.
A different curriculum, such as teaching pupils to read whole
words by sight, may appear to offer some short-term success
but will not provide a long-term strategy for decoding
unfamiliar words.
Phonics gives pupils a way of decoding any unfamiliar word.
9. Accurate word reading – the alphabetic code
Slide 9
The curriculum does not change but the resources and
activity choices might.
Broadly speaking, it will only be those pupils with severe
cognitive difficulties who cannot be taught the code. Those
pupils will still be on the same curriculum journey as their
peers – but at a much earlier stage.
11. Automatic word reading – the right quality
and quantity of practice
Slide 11
Pupils need enough practice so that their reading
becomes automatic and they can read words ‘at
a glance’.
12. Progressive fluency
Slide 12
The term progressive fluency is useful as it indicates that
fluency can develop over time, as pupils experience more
demanding texts and develop the stamina necessary to read
longer, academic texts.
Pupils need lots of practice each step of the way so that they
are able to read words accurately, silently and speedily.
, silently and speedily.
13. Reading is crucial for increasing the
breadth of pupils’ vocabulary
Some pupils may read accurately but read so little, either for pleasure
or regularly in lessons, that they do not build their fluency
progressively to be able to read increasingly demanding texts
automatically. They struggle to get through the sheer volume of
reading needed in lessons.
Academic writing provides exposure to complex vocabulary and ideas
that must be grasped for academic success.
KE Stanovich, ‘Does reading make you smarter? Literacy and the development of verbal intelligence’, in ’Advances in child
development and behavior,’ Volume 24, 1993, pages 133 to 180.
Slide 13
14. What about comprehension?
Fluent word reading allows comprehension.
Without accurate and automatic word reading, pupils will have difficulty
understanding what they read, even if they understand the words.
Working memory overload makes it very difficult for pupils to focus on
making sense of the text.
Accuracy and automaticity make a fluent reader. This is the bedrock
from which pupils make inferences and analyse what they read.
Accurate and automatic word reading is an urgent priority so that
pupils can read for themselves and be able to access the curriculum.
Slide 14
15. Principles of curriculum design for pupils
who have fallen behind with reading
Individual components of knowledge need to be directly
taught (for example, phonics for word reading and spelling).
Each component needs sufficient practice for it to become
securely embedded.
Slide 15
Complex reading and writing tasks become more
manageable once pupils have secured important
component knowledge.

Assessments from your phonics programme
19. Assessment should determine whether pupils have difficulty
with accuracy (decoding) and automaticity (being able to
read words speedily enough to focus on the meaning) or
language comprehension.
Different teaching is required for each.
Spring conference 2022 *ITTC220322SH Slide 19
21. Resources for older pupils
Phonics catch-up should use a systematic, synthetic
phonics programme.
For older pupils, a phonics programme with more age-
appropriate lessons and resources should be considered.
Slide 21
22. Most pupils will catch up if they have the
right quality and quantity of practice
Differences in the quality and quantity of practice leave some
pupils falling behind their peers and struggling to ever catch
up.
Most pupils will catch up with an intensive period of additional
support.
Some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities
may take longer.
Slide 22
23. Staff expertise
The adults supporting the most vulnerable pupils need to have
sufficient expertise.
Leaders should invest in a skilled team of staff who are
committed to making sure pupils catch up.
Slide 23
24. Matched books for decoding practice
Pupils should be able to read:
unfamiliar
words
accurately
familiar words
automatically
Slide 24
25. Pupils who cannot read accurately and/or
automatically will need:
A
systematic,
synthetic
phonics
programme
Decisions
about how
and when
this will be
delivered
Texts
matched to
pupils’
phonic
knowledge
Trained
experts to
deliver the
programme
Slide 25
26. Key takeaways – curriculum
Accuracy and automaticity make a fluent reader.
Knowledge of the alphabetic code underpins all reading.
Phonics is not a pedagogy but a body of knowledge.
Pupils who cannot read accurately need phonics.
Pupils who cannot read automatically need practice.
Fluent word reading allows comprehension.
Complex reading and writing tasks become more
manageable once pupils have secured important component
knowledge.
Slide 26
27. Key takeaway – assessment
Assessment should determine which pupils are behind with
reading but also what they are behind with.
Key takeaways – pedagogy
Older pupils need a systematic, synthetic phonics
programme with age-appropriate resources.
Staff should have sufficient expertise.
Pupils need enough practice to help them catch up quickly.
