What is collaboration? Here I present both a definition of collaboration and a model for how to think about collaboration. This gives us a framework for how to improve the way we collaborate.
This presentation explores how teacher collaboration can become an effective schoolwide practice to accommodate the needs of diverse English Language learners (ELLs) and to help all students meet national and state learning standards. In addition, a co-teaching approach to instruction is showcased in conjunction with
various co-teaching models for ELLs.
This Power Point is a presentation created to explain how online learning modules can fill in instructional gaps with authentic learning and why they should be utilized in schools.
This article will attempt to convince the reader that a blended learning approach, where an online course is supplemented by one or more classroom sessions along with several other potential delivery methods, has the greatest potential for a strong learning outcome and student satisfaction. The artic|e's contents are largely based on this author’s experience teaching a hybrid class at California State University, the research he did for his doctoral dissertation, along with an article he wrote for the Wilberforce University Faculty Journal.
myDragonNet & Learning Platforms Part 2/2jahardman

Teachers are being challenged to find ways to integrate the use of ICT into their teaching to both address these outcomes and enhance what they have previously done on their classrooms. One approach to the use of the Internet that has a lot of potentials for both teachers and learners is the Web Quest. This study aimed at verifying (1) whether the students would be interested in reading texts extensively in English; (2) whether an interactive constructivist environment would make a difference in an extensive reading task. This quasi-experimental study examined the effect of the Web Quest in extensive reading. The experiment and control subjects were from two different classes attending the fifth semester of English department at STKIP PGRI Jombang, Indonesia. The results showed that there is no statistical difference between the groups (p=0.575). The results also indicated that both approaches (the Web Quest and traditional) lead to learning and both are valuable teaching strategies. The results showed that the majority of students in both groups had some difficulties in reading in English. General comments follow the next discussion and end with conclusion and suggestion which might be beneficial for language learners and EFL practitioners.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
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.
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.

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.
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.

In 12 days of blogs, our expert demonstrates the myriad benefits this new form of communication holds for teachers, students and parents alike. T H E Journal, Technological Horizons in Education, 33.

3. Blogging Benefits For Teachers Weblogs = Log of Thoughts Published as Web Page (Blogs) Anyone / Become a Published Author
What is a blog? We hear the term all the time. It is short for Weblog. Which is nothing more than a log of thoughts about any given subject.It is published as a web page and we call it a” blog”.Using this technology anyone can become a published author. This is one reason we have to teach students about how to determine whether or not sources are credible.
How does the world of blogging apply to educators and for our purposes here today, collaboration between educators?Whether it’s a teacher down the hall or a teacher in London, England, blogging can connect two or more teachers conveniently and instantly. Ideally, collaboration flourishes when collaborating teachers share the same planning period. Realistically, this is not always possible. More importantly, why limit the sharing of ideas between teachers in the same school, school system or country for that matter? Why not share ideas with teachers across the ocean?
Blogs do not require specialized training in computer language. Typing skills are helpful, but even that is not a requirement. If teachers have access to a computer with high speed internet, the conditions are already set up for blogging. The best part is that it meets a requirement of most teachers and administrators….It’s free.
How will creating a blog create a collaborative environment? The key to successful collaboration is communication. Blogs are ideal for connecting teachers with other teachers. Teachers in a collaborative relationship who commit just 20 minutes each day to blogging ideas, reflections about how to make a lesson better, or comments about how to elaborate on a previous lesson could increase productivity of face to face collaboration. Going into a planning period already knowing the ideas, reflections and concerns of the other cooperating teacher means valuable time is saved for solving problems and making progress.
Teachers can also create special blogs to share with students. These blogs are ideal for homework reminders, special projects and questions. Occasionally, I will be waist deep in a project here in graduate school. A question will arise that I want to ask my professor about before I can progress. Do we think our students are any different?
Nothing is more powerful than the school to home connection. Getting parents involved, aware and on our side is what it’s all about. Parents are busy and often intimidated by formality of conferences which must be scheduled, pre-planned and time has to taken off from work to attend. Blogs do not replace formal teacher conferences, but blogs have an important purpose. Any parent with a computer or blackberry can blog. Imagine a teacher posting a message on the parent/teacher blog…Parents Needed For Fieldtrip to Washington, D.C…..Parents begin to sign on and volunteer. Perhaps, one parent can not attend the field trip, but offers to pack picnic lunches for all the students.
Students are already blogging with Facebook and Myspace. Why not use their familiarity with these forums in your classroom? Students could make good use of a social studies, English, Math blog with a little guidance and perhaps a participation grade for incentive. For example, each student who makes a valid contribution to the blog each week gets five points. This is the perfect opportunity for students to post current events.
To Collaborate teachers have to be creative and proactive because getting the quality planning time can be a challenge.
Blogs can easily be set to private…where only individuals with passwords may see or write to the blogs.
Ideas from teachers in other parts of the world help provide teachers with access to what other countries are doing. Students can collaborate with students from other parts of the world, too.
The sharing of files, power point presentations and ideas complete with editing rights is an outstanding way to use blogs. These types of files easily attach to blog entries. If you’d rather not give others access to actually editing your files, but would like to allow them to use them as is, you can set up a password for reading rights only.
Reality is that blogging requires a commitment. Nothing is worse than creating a blog and not making time to maintain it especially if you are using the blog to communicate with parents or students. If you begin a blog and announce it to parents and students, time must be made to maintain the blog. If a teacher is only going to check the blog on Friday afternoons, this announcement should be made in advance, so parent and students know what to expect. In a collaborative teacher relationship, the most beneficial use of a blog would be gained by daily entries even if they are brief.
Time management is critical. Set aside 20 minutes each day for proper collaboration using a blog.
Be aware, that your brainstorming of ideas “out loud” on your blog may draw criticism. If you post a public blog, you may draw fire from educators, administrators or non professionals. If you set your blog to private and give the password only to your collaborating teacher, you know who your critic will be. Agree to allow this type of open dialogue. It can only make your ideas better by bouncing them and shaping them into perfection.
If you know someone will be checking your blog, you are much more likely to first, create an entry on your blog, and second, follow through with any discussion your plan inspires.
If a teacher is willing to invest the time consistently to maintain a blog, the collaborative relationship will flourish!
Placing ideas and plans on a blog, teachers do risk criticism, but constructive criticism leads to positive changes which benefit both teachers and students.
