The document discusses the importance of art in early childhood education. It states that art allows children to express themselves through non-verbal communication before they can use words. It also encourages hands-on learning through drawing, painting, music, dance and other art forms. Art experiences help reinforce other areas of learning and develop skills like problem solving and visualizing. The document recommends exposing children to a variety of art materials, media and tools to foster creativity and allow different ways of expressing ideas and thoughts.

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.

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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.
1. Teacher’s Notes<br />Curriculum Connections<br />Art is a powerful tool that gives children the ability to express their thoughts, and emotions long before they can fully express themselves with words. When children participate in activities in the arts, they are involved in using both non-verbal and verbal forms of communication. (Pelo, 2007)<br />Painting, drawing, and making models; music, movement, and dance encourages children to express themselves. Access to resources for drawing, and mark making encourages children to draw pictures of their ideas and symbolic language. (Pelo, 2007)<br />In early childhood, educators introduce children to many experiences through practical hands on activities, including the arts forms of dance, drama, media, music and visual arts. Opportunities for arts area specific learning and integrated arts learning should be provided in all areas of the curriculum. <br />Children build their arts ideas on their experiences, through their senses, emotions and observations. They learn through observing, modelling, repeating and imitating, as well as through working both individually and collaboratively. They use skills, methods and procedures to make and communicate meaning to fit their interests and development. <br />Art tools provide early learners with pre-writing experiences, as they master tools that later help them hold a pencil. Children who draw pictures about stories they have read improve their reading comprehension, and understanding of stories. <br />As discussed by Kolbe (2005), drawing and art experiences assist in the development of creative ideas and problem solving, and develops the portion of the brain that visualises. Visualising or imagination is used in all kinds of creative planning activities including charting, graphing, mapping, planning structures, planning communities, and design of every kind. <br />Effective learning involves hands on experiences. Children’s learning and knowledge is retained longer when an art experience is used to reinforce learning. Art media, and tools, provide skill development, and the potential for new discoveries by children.<br />Investigation and experimentation of science concepts such as cause and effect, changes of state, and physical attributes can be explored with art materials. Components of science can be added to art experiences by providing magnifiers, and experimenting with the physical attributes of art media using the five sense to explore paint, and clay, or by predicting what will happen when different art materials are combined, such as glue and paint……Educators can ask children questions such as, Will it go hard? What is your prediction? What do you think ?.........<br />Children should be allowed the opportunity to experiment with a variety of materials, media and tools to allow them to express ideas, thoughts, observations, and emotions. Quality visual arts programs encourage children to use a range of subjects, including objects, people, and plants, created from observation, from photographs, and books, real, or imagined, and provide a variety of tools and creative media to foster and promote creativity. (Reyner, 2011)<br />Art develops expressive and reflective skills that enhance writing, and also promotes print awareness, spatial skills, visual literacy, and creativity. (Reyner, 2011) Art activities contribute to literacy, and language development, and maths concepts, through positive and negative space, classification, sequencing, and pattern recognition. (Russell-Bowie, 2009)<br />3 D Media<br />Three dimensional media encourages, and challenges children to consider the variety of ways that lines, and shapes take up space, and expands possibilities for children confident with drawing, and painting. Three dimensional media supports children’s language development as they learn new names for tools, techniques, and materials. <br />Clay, objects, and wire are physical media which require children to press, bend, pull, squeeze, twist and tear. First encounters with clay take place over time, and support children in understanding the identity of clay. Encouraging children to dig, gouge, press into it with their elbows and knees, allows children to experience the responsiveness of clay. Inviting children to expand their physical knowledge of clay by adding water assists children to notice the change in texture, and malleability of clay. <br />Children’s interactions with three dimensional media may include freestanding artworks which may be viewed from all sides, or relief sculptures which are viewed from the front and attached to a wall or other surface. Basic sculpture can be made from boxes, masking tape, glue and paint. <br />Through creating sculptures, and other three dimensional artwork from paper, cardboard, textiles, wire, and other assorted materials children can develop their thinking skills, develop spacial awareness, learn to plan and design, and develop the ability to assess size, shape, and suitable construction materials. Children can create sculptures such as masks, play dough creations, and puppets to be used in drama lessons, using three dimensional media. Educators can encourage children to plan, and design the proposed sculpture / artwork beforehand in order to determine size, character, shape, and construction materials. (Russell-Bowie, 2009)<br />
