What is the Integral Model & how does it work? Why is it so significant for this time in history?
In this class we study the integral model in depth & ask why it could be one of the most important maps for directing us in the creation of more sustainable human societies.
Integral theory is an all-inclusive framework that draws on the key insights of the worldâs greatest knowledge traditions.
The awareness gained from drawing on all truths and perspectives allows the Integral thinker to bring new depth, clarity and compassion to every level of human endeavor â from unlocking individual potential to finding new approaches to global-scale problems.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
Â
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 Caesarâs dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empireâs 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 Empireâs 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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Â
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.

Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
We don't grow into creativity, we grow out of it
Intelligence is diverse, dynamic and distinct
Creativity is as important as Literacy
we got excited when...
He told great jokes! He shared the story about
the child who had to move to think. Education
system currently produces frustrated people.
When he reminded us that shakespeare was once a
kid, and had an english teacher. The world is
evolving, education should as well (beyond the
industrial model its predicated on)
47. said she would talk to us about...
The âMs. Sunâ in All of Us
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
Finding your identity through engaging in art.
Performing to demonstrate depth.
we got excited when...
It was so incredible that she got up there -
performing, and showing us the different
characters. And then connecting those characters
to her own life, and the people she knew.
"Only boring people are bored."
49. said she would talk to us about...
The Power of Words
some BIG IDEAS in this performance and talk were:
(THE TITLE IS SO RIGHT!) Self-empowerment, self-
awareness, connection and community!
we got excited when...
She said...Words are seeds, words are bullets
Breath is the fuel that feeds the words.
The fact that she PERFORMED, rather than just
talking about it.
To spit words, is to taste truth
50. TEDTalk: Taylor Mali
Slam Poet

51. said he would talk to us about...
What teachers make

Teachers make a god damn difference.
Poetry heals.

his energy! he spoke truth.
(it went by so fast, its hard to remember.)
53. said he would talk to us about...
âRed, White and Bluesâ & talk about
the impact of the arts on him.
some BIG IDEAS in this performance and talk were:
"We are the American Dream"
Self-expression. Art saves lives. (really)
we got excited when...

was so open, and so wise. In his work, his
poetry, and in him speaking about himself as an
artist.
55. said he would talk to us about...
Arts Experiences & the Future of Learning
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
Disruptive Change, 3rd Place (as the place where
we bring and create art)
we got excited when...
â˘When he talked about how you can't expect to
tear everything down and build something new,
but rather work within current structures. We
really got into futurism in a way we didn't think
we would - the authenticity of his voice really
made us think of futurism as a field.
56. and then we took a BREAK!
(when some of thought about how as
performers, we think about how people
perform. we were also impressed by Hope,
jumping in and playing the drums.)

Tinkering School in Action
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
Trusting our kids.
Being willing to fail (gleeful calamity!) - being
able to take risks, is the only way anything good
ever happens.
we got excited when...
It just made us want to build something, right
now. We liked that the students built a roller-
coaster, rather than something "useful" - the
sheer joy of it is valuable enough! Why is this not
in NY!?!? The idea of a gokart would be thrilling
to any kid (and us).
61. said he would talk to us about...
Developmental approach to schooling
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
VIGOR not Rigor. Life is making meaning.
Education as a useful tool, not just a system a
child needs to get through, but something that
actually helps them in life. Seeing the child not
just the student.
we got excited when...
That he referred to an actual student, and took
us on his life journey (we could each connect to
that journey at different points, which made the
story more meaningful).
"Isn't it interesting that the only time you get to
talk to kids is after-school?"

Math text books suck. (all text books in general!)
we got excited when...
he talked about the kids getting impatient, and wanting to
know the answer (we love teaching math!). ...he showed
the visual breakdown of all the information provided in a
word problem. When he put the math problem up, we were
like NO MATH! but by the end, we realized that if math
was realistic we wouldn't be afraid of it.
67. said she would talk to us about...
Rethinking Expectations: Connecting
Children With Our Future
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
Screw content, focus on skills.
Creating a culture where you redefine basic
terms before you start working.

http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/derek_sivers_how_to_start_a_movement.html
71. said she would talk to us about...
How to start a movement
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
LEADERSHIP is OVER-GLORIFIED, nurture your first
Embrace your followers as equals
Before you can be a great leader, you need to
know how to be a great follower as well!

just the whole concept of how its not a movement
until the second person - with the most courage -
validates it.
73. said he would talk to us about...
Statistics and Innovation: When
worlds collide â things explode!
some BIG IDEAS in this talk were:
DON'T SAVE THE ARTS, evolve them.
Evolve, Help each other, enjoy ourselves
we got excited when...
He stood on his head - and was able to keep his
thoughts together. When he told us he was once a
stripper, and that his mother is here. When he
wondered, "Is it arts education?" Does it matter
to the kids? Schools should be the most innovative
places How do I innovate today, tomorrow? (we
wondered, What will his kids' accents sound
like?)

78. from the TEDx website:
WHAT IS TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a
program called TEDx.
TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that
bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our
event is call TEDxDUMBO, where x=independently organized
TED event. At our TEDxDUMBO event, TEDTalks video and
live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and
connection in a small group.
The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx
program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are
self-organized.
