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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

6. Why the “M” Word Matters to Me
by Andrew Sullivan
7. The author of our essay tells
us that the “M” word –
Marriage – is precisely what he
and other gays most need to
validate themselves in our
culture. Think about this.
Do you agree?
Do you disagree?
Why?
15. Both sides speak of being afraid.
What are we afraid of?
Do we fear the differences?
Or do we fear the fact that we don’t
really have all that many differences?
Or do we?

difference, as if we’re so much better
for not being different in the first
place. Instead, let’s celebrate
difference, because in this world it
takes a lot of guts to be different.
- Kate Bornstein
202. Dear Christine,
I’m disappointed in you as a daughter. You’re correct that we have a
“shame in the family,” but mistaken about what it is.
Kicking Chad out of your home simply because he told you he was gay is
the real “abomination” here. A parent disowning her child is what goes
“against nature.”
The only intelligent thing I heard you saying in all this was that “you
didn’t raise your son to be gay.” Of course you didn’t. He was born this
way and didn’t choose it any more than he being left-handed. You,
however, have made a choice of being hurtful, narrow-minded, and
backward. So, while we are in the business of disowning our children, I
think I’ll take this moment to say goodbye to you. I now have a fabulous
(as the gays put it) grandson to raise, and I don’t have time for a heartless
B-word of a daughter.
If you find your heart, give us a call.
--Dad
203. James,
This is a difficult but necessary letter to write.
I hope your telephone call was not to receive my blessing for the degrading of
your lifestyle. I have fond memories of our time together, but that is all in the past.
Don’t expect any further conversations with me. No conversations at all.
I will not come to visit, nor do I want you in my house.
You’ve made your choice though wrong it may be. God did not wish for this
unnatural lifestyle.
If you choose not to attend my funeral, my friends and family will understand.
Have a good birthday and good life.
No present exchanges will be accepted.
Goodbye,
--Dad
204. Dear Son,
You told us at the dinner table last night that you’re gay. I apologize for the awkward silence afterwards,
but I was chewing. I don’t know why I needed to explain that. I think I needed to find a funny way to
repeat the fact that you’re gay. My son is gay. My son is gay.
Let me be perfectly clear. I love you. I will always love you. Since being gay is part of who you are, I love
that you’re gay. I’m just trying to wrap my head around the idea. I’m sad that I was taken by surprise
because I should have known. I’ve loved you even before you were born, and I should have known.
Ok. Let’s get a few things straight about how things are going to be.
1. Our home is a place of safety and love. The world might not be. You need to know that whenever you
walk in the front door of this house, you are safe and you are loved.
2. I am still your biggest defender. If you need me to stand next to you, in front of you, write letters, sign
petitions, advocate, or anything else, I am here. I will go to war for you.
3. If you are going to have boys over, you now need to leave your bedroom door open. This same rule
applies to your brother and girls. No prejudice here. My house. My rules.
4. You and I are going to revisit that talk we had about safe sex. I’ll have to do some research, so let’s give
this one a few weeks. It will be awkward for both of us, but it was awkward that first time, too.
I’ll end with this: You are not broken. You are whole and beautiful, and your mother and brother and I
love you unconditionally. We are happier than you’ll ever know that you have found who you really are.
Love, Dad
