When students complete an assessment, as teachers, we then have an opportunity to respond through our marking and feedback. This is a wonderful chance to do a little more teaching, particularly individualised teaching, through our feedback.
On January 31, 2012, Dr. Lisa Leith from School Improvement Network presented a webinar examining the social, emotional and academic profile of the struggling student. She also explored the potential that integration of Common Core Standards offers for meeting the needs of the whole child, for empowering students to drive their own learning pathways, to increase motivation and relevance and to refocus students and teachers on success beyond school.

The Individual Development Plan for Postdoctoral Professional Developmentauthors boards
Purpose of the Individual Development Plan
The Individual Development Plan (IDP) is a tool designed to assist with (1) assessing an individual’s skill set relative to their career goals; (2) identifying professional goals and objectives; and (3) developing a plan to acquire the skills and competencies needed to achieve short- and long-term career objectives. While the IDP is not new, its recognition as a best practice in postdoctoral professional development is fairly recent. The Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) was an early proponent of using IDPs for postdoctoral career planning. Dr. Philip Clifford, Associate Dean of Postdoctoral Education at the Medical College of Wisconsin, played a key role in drafting and promoting the FASEB model of the Postdoctoral IDP. Because of its demonstrated usefulness in fostering professional development, the IDP is increasingly recognized as an important instrument for postdocs in a broad range of positions. A well-crafted IDP can serve as both a planning and a communications tool, allowing postdocs to identify their research and career goals and to communicate these goals to mentors, PIs, and advisors

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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
