Foreword
The thoughts brought together in this volume have been expressed in recent addresses and
articles written by the author. From time to time persons deeply interested in the point of view
therein presented have requested that these comments on education be made available in book
form. To supply this demand this volume is given to the public. In the preparation of the volume
the author has not followed in detail the productions upon which most of the book is based. The
aim is to set forth only the thought developed in passing from the one to the other. The language
in some cases, then, is entirely new; and the work is not a collection of essays. In this way
repetition has been avoided except to emphasize the thesis which the author sustains.

The Mis-Education of the Negro by Carter Godwin Woodson
The Journal of Pan African Studies: 2009 eBook
Preface
Herein are recorded not opinions but the reflections of one who for forty years has participated in
the education of the Black, brown, yellow and white races in both hemispheres and in tropical
and temperate regions. Such experience, too, has been with students in all grades from the
kindergarten to the university. The author, moreover, has traveled around the world to observe
not only modern school systems in various countries but to study the special systems set up by
private agencies and governments to educate the natives in their colo.
The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six .docx
The mission of policing was described by the author as covering six key areas: enforcing the law, apprehending offenders, preventing crime, predicting crime, preserving the peace, and providing services. With the advent of various forms of terrorism and transnational crime, the police mission has expanded beyond the traditional borders of burglaries and domestic disputes.
Beginning with the material conveyed in the assigned reading and presentation, select two scholarly articles from the university criminal justice databases, and integrate those resources to discuss the use of intelligence-led policing (ILP) and the development of fusion centers to equip law enforcement for their expanded mission. Finally, integrate within your discussion the impact of a Judeo-Christian viewpoint on ILP and the development of fusion centers.

The Milgram Experiment
by Saul McLeod published 2007
Milgram selected participants for his experiment by newspaper advertising for male participants to take part in a study of learning at Yale University. The procedure was that the participant was paired with another person and they drew lots to find out who would be the ‘learner’ and who would be the ‘teacher’. The draw was fixed so that the participant was always the teacher, and the learner was one of Milgram’s confederates (pretending to be a real participant).
The learner (a confederate called Mr. Wallace) was taken into a room and had electrodes attached to his arms, and the teacher and researcher went into a room next door that contained an electric shock generator and a row of switches marked from 15 volts (Slight Shock) to 375 volts (Danger: Severe Shock) to 450 volts (XXX).
Milgram's Experiment
Procedure:
At the beginning of the experiment, each participant was introduced to another participant, who was actually a confederate of the experimenter (Milgram). They drew straws to determine their roles – learner or teacher – although this was fixed and the confederate was always the learner. There was also an “experimenter” dressed in a grey lab coat, played by an actor (not Milgram).
Two rooms in the Yale Interaction Laboratory were used - one for the learner (with an electric chair) and another for the teacher and experimenter with an electric shock generator.
The “learner” (Mr. Wallace) was strapped to a chair with electrodes. After he has learned a list of word pairs given him to learn, the "teacher" tests him by naming a word and asking the learner to recall its partner/pair from a list of four possible choices.
The teacher is told to administer an electric shock every time the learner makes a mistake, increasing the level of shock each time. There were 30 switches on the shock generator marked from 15 volts (slight shock) to 450 (danger – severe shock).
The learner gave mainly wrong answers (on purpose) and for each of these the teacher gave him an electric shock. When the teacher refused to administer a shock the experimenter was to give a series of orders / prods to ensure they continued. There were 4 prods and if one was not obeyed then the experimenter (Mr. Williams) read out the next prod, and so on.
Prod 1: please continue.
Prod 2: the experiment requires you to continue.
Prod 3: It is absolutely essential that you continue.
Prod 4: you have no other choice but to continue.
Results:
65% of all the participants (teachers) continued to the highest level of 450 volts. All the participants continued to 300 volts. Milgram did more than one experiment – he carried out 18 variations of his study. All he did was alter the situation (IV) to see how this affected obedience (DV).
Conclusion:
Ordinary people are likely to follow orders given by an authority figure, even to the extent of killing an innocent human being. Obedience to authority is ingrained in us all from the way.

What a crisis Europe is in, with waves of migrants reaching its shores as the Arab world implodes. It is the biggest migration into Europe since the end of World War II and is shaping up to be its first great and sustained challenge of the 21st century. It may in fact shape that continent’s nature and history as surely as did World War I.
It is a humanitarian crisis. As Richard Haass of the Council on Foreign Relations notes, it will not soon go away, for two reasons. First, the Mideast will not be peaceful anytime soon and may well become more turbulent. Second, “The more that Europe responds the more it will reinforce the supply of migrants. Europe is caught.” If it doesn’t respond with compassion and generosity it is wrong in humanitarian terms; if it does, more will come and the problem grows. “This is now part of the architecture,” says Mr. Haass.

Three hundred eighty-one thousand detected migrants have arrived so far this year, up from 216,000 in all of 2014. Almost 3,000 died on the journey or are missing. The symbol of their plight is the photo of the 3-year-old Syrian boy, Aylan Kurdi, who drowned along with his mother and 5-year-old brother when their boat capsized near a Turkish beach. Just as horrifying is what was found inside a Volvo refrigerated truck stranded on the shoulder of the A4 highway 30 miles from Vienna in late August. Inside were 71 bodies, including a 1½-year-old girl, all dead of suffocation. They’d been left there by human smugglers.
It is a catastrophe unfolding before our eyes, and efforts to deal with it have at least one echo in America, which we’ll examine further down.
According to the U.N. refugee agency, 53% of the migrants are from Syria, 14% from Afghanistan, 7% from Eritrea, and 3% each from Pakistan, Nigeria, Iraq and Somalia. Seventy-two percent are men, only 13% women and 15% children. Not all are fleeing war. Some are fleeing poverty. Not all but the majority are Muslim.
The leaders of Europe have shown themselves unsure about what to do. It is a continent-wide crisis that began in 2011, as Tunisians fled to the Italian island of Lampedusa. The following year, sub-Saharan Africans who’d migrated to Libya made for Europe after Muammar Gadhafi’s fall. Since then the European response has largely been ad hoc and stopgap. European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker has proposed a “permanent relocation mechanism” with EU members taking greater shares of the refugees, but it is unclear how exactly it would work.
In many EU nations there will be powerful pushback. Like the crisis itself the pushback will build. Europe is in econo.

Two great authors had radically different insights on moderation: “Complete abstinence is easier than perfect moderation,” (Saint Augustine) and “Moderation is a fatal thing.

ABSTRACT
In the period immediately following the rumors of Michael Jordan's return to basketball, the five companies that
Jordan had major endorsement deals with experienced a nearly $3 billion increase in the market value of their
equity. Jordan was labeled the $2 billion man in the press, referring to the value he created for the shareholders of
the companies he endorses. However, most of these reports failed to cite the simultaneous bull market that lead
the S&P 500 to record highs. The Michael Jordan effect is examined, and it is found that shareholders experienced
negative abnormal returns after the announcement of his retirement and positive excess returns when rumors of a
comeback surfaced. However, it is also shown that the positive excess returns following the rumors of Jordan's
comeback were only temporary and disappeared within weeks of the original rumors. While some evidence is
found in support of a Michael Jordan effect, it appears that the rumors of Jordan's impact have been greatly
exaggerated.
FULL TEXT
On October 6, 1993 Michael Jordan unexpectedly retired from basketball after leading the Chicago Bull's to three
straight NBA championships. The following spring he showed up for spring training with the Chicago White Sox.
Despite his early retirement Jordan maintained his five major endorsement deals from which he is rumored to
receive a total of approximately $30 million annually. These endorsements are highlighted in exhibit 1.
On March 2nd, 1995 Jordan ended his attempt at professional baseball and left the Chicago White Sox spring
training facilities. Shortly after his retirement from baseball, rumors of Jordan's return to basketball surfaced.
These rumors touched off a media frenzy as the popular press tied increases in the stock prices of the companies
Jordan endorses to speculation over his return. The Los Angeles Times reported that five days after the first
reports of his comeback, advertisers experienced a collective $2.3 billion gain in equity value. Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and nearly every major newspaper ran similar reports at about the same time. Jordan
was labeled the $2 billion man. The implication was that Jordan's rumored return to basketball increased his value
as an endorser resulting in an over $2 billion dollar gain to shareholders.
Table I illustrates the increase in the market value of the five companies which Jordan endorses. The collective
increase in market value over a nine business day period, from the date of the first rumors until the first trading day
after his comeback announcement, was more than $2.9 billion. The average return over those nine days was
4.59%. The return on the S&P 500 over the same nine day period was just 2.91%.
We examine two questions.
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in t.docx
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in the local media for not responding to police calls in the downtown area rapidly enough. In several recent cases, alarms had sounded for break-ins, but by the time the police car arrived, the perpetrators had left, and in one instance a store owner had been shot. Sergeant Joe Davis had been assigned by the chief as head of a task force to find a way to determine the optimal patrol area (dimensions) for their cars that would minimize the average time it took to respond to a call in the downtown area.
Sergeant Davis solicited help from Angela Maris, an analyst in the operations area for the police department. Together they began to work through the problem.
Joe noted to Angela that normal patrol sectors are laid out in rectangles, with each rectangle including a number of city blocks. For illustrative purposes he defined the dimensions of the sector as
x
in the horizontal direction and as
y
in the vertical direction. He explained to Angela that cars traveled in straight lines either horizontally or vertically and turned at right angles.
Travel
in a horizontal direction must be accompanied by travel in a vertical direction, and the total distance traveled is the sum of the horizontal and vertical segments. He further noted that past research on police patrolling in urban areas had shown that the average distance traveled by a patrol car responding to a call in either direction was one-third of the dimensions of the sector, or
x
/3 and

/3. He also explained that the travel time it took to respond to a call ( assuming that a car left immediately upon receiving the call) is simply the average distance traveled divided by the average travel speed.
Angela told Joe that now that she understood how average travel time to a call was determined, she could see that it was closely related to the size of the patrol area. She asked Joe if there were any restrictions on the size of the area sectors that cars patrolled. He responded that for their city, the department believed that the perimeter of a patrol sector should not be less than 5 miles or exceed 12 miles. He noted several policy issues and
staffing
constraints that required these specifications. Angela wanted to know if any additional restrictions existed, and Joe indicated that the distance in the vertical direction must be at least 50% more than the horizontal distance for the sector. He explained that laying out sectors in that manner meant that the patrol areas would have a greater tendency to overlap different residential, income, and retail areas than if they ran the other way. He said that these areas were layered from north to south in the city. So if a sector area were laid out east to west, all of it would tend to be in one demographic layer.
Angela indicated that she had almost enough information to develop a model, except that she also needed to know the average travel speed the patrol cars could trav.
THE MG371 CASE Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcar.docx
THE MG371 CASE
Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcare
Background
Mountain States Healthcare (MSH) is a regional system of hospitals located
in several large metropolitan areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado,
and in Acapulco, Mexico. MHS started as a single hospital in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and, due to the business acumen and experience of its officers and
Board of Directors, was quite successful and profitable.
Over the years, Salt Lake Hospital began purchasing other hospitals and
clinics in the state that were not as profitably operated, and eventually
changed its name to Utah Health Group (UHG). Each facility continued to
operate as an independent entity, except that its name was changed to
include “Utah Health Group” and UHG instilled its own successful
management style in the newly purchased facilities. When a hospital was
bought in Denver, Colorado, the firm created a medical facility holding
company in Salt Lake City, named Mountain States Healthcare. MHS treated
each facility as a separate subsidiary, except for the clinics, which were
associated with a larger hospital in the area. MSH continued to grow, adding
facilities from the states it declared as its strategic area.
Later, they added a new division of several clinics, an assisted living facility,
and a hospital in the resort city of Acapulco, Mexico, to take advantage of
medical needs of the large tourist and American retirement population there.
The Mexico venture was the most profitable and fastest growing of the MHS
family.
MSH was a profitable venture, but began to realize that some of its
administrative costs were, collectively, much higher than other medical
holding companies, and reducing the profits that could be used for the
benefit of shareholders. Additionally, the higher overhead costs were
affecting the advantage of some hospitals to compete within their districts.
The divisions had historically set themselves apart from other medical
facilities by offering a full line of specialties within their service packages.
The corporate holding company supported this by sharing resources,
technology, and even personnel between the divisions when needed. This
allowed each of the hospitals to position themselves as medical technology
competent full service providers.
A consulting firm pointed out several areas of administration which could be
consolidated, using the latest technology, to realize a tremendous reduction
in costs. The new VP of Finance, Aaron Nelson, newly promoted from the
state billing office manager’s position, suggested that medical billing should
be the first to consolidate. He reasoned that as each of the facilities had
consolidated the billing operations for all facilities within their five geographic
areas a few years ago, they should be able to completely consolidate all
billing with the latest database technology in a fairly short time, and.

The Meanings of Lives by Susan Wolf (2007) The questi.docx
The Meanings of Lives
by Susan Wolf (2007)
The question, “What is the meaning of life?” was once taken to be a paradigm of
philosophical inquiry. Perhaps, outside of the academy, it still is. In philosophy
classrooms and academic journals, however, the question has nearly disappeared,
and when the question is brought up, by a naïve student, for example, or a
prospective donor to the cause of a liberal arts education, it is apt to be greeted with
uncomfortable embarrassment.
What is so wrong with the question? One answer is that it is extremely obscure, if
not downright unintelligible. It is unclear what exactly the question is supposed to be
asking. Talk of meaning in other contexts does not offer ready analogies for
understanding the phrase “the meaning of life.” When we ask the meaning of a
word, for example, we want to know what the word stands for, what it represents.
But life is not part of a language, or of any other sort of symbolic system. It is not
clear how it could “stand for” anything, nor to whom. We sometimes use “meaning”
in nonlinguistic contexts: “Those dots mean measles.” “Those footprints mean that
someone was here since it rained.” In these cases, talk of meaning seems to be
equivalent to talk of evidence, but the contexts in which such claims are made tend
to specify what hypotheses are in question within relatively fixed bounds. To ask
what life means without a similarly specified context, leaves us at sea.
Still, when people do ask about the meaning of life, they are evidently expressing
some concern or other, and it would be disingenuous to insist that the rest of us
haven’t the faintest idea what that is. The question at least gestures toward a
certain set of concerns with which most of us are at least somewhat familiar. Rather
than dismiss a question with which many people have been passionately occupied
as pure and simple nonsense, it seems more appropriate to try to interpret it and
reformulate it in a way that can be more clearly and unambiguously understood.
Though there may well be many things going on when people ask, “What is the
meaning of life?”, the most central among them seems to be a search to find a
purpose or a point to human existence. It is a request to find out why we are here
(that is, why we exist at all), with the hope that an answer to this question will also
tell us something about what we should be doing with our lives.
If understanding the question in this way, however, makes the question intelligible,
it might not give reason to reopen it as a live philosophical problem. Indeed, if some
of professional philosophy’s discomfort with discussion of the meaning of life comes
from a desire to banish ambiguity and obscurity from the field, as much comes, I
think, from the thought that the question, when made clearer, has already been
answered, and that the answer is depressing. Specifically, if the question of the
Meaning of Life is to be identified w.

The Mayan religion had around 165 Gods they worshiped. They were very loved for their human-like qualities for the Mayan people to be familiar with. The most important God to the people is that of Itzamna who created humans and the father of the Bacabs. He was the father of fire who created Earth. The Maya believed that he gave them the calendar and writing as well. With other Gods that we have talked about there was usually only one God for the people to worship, with the Maya they have over 100 they choose to worship. Mayan's have a God they worship for many aspects of their life, while the other Gods we read about are not quite as powerful as the Gods that Mayan's worship.

ABSTRACT
In the period immediately following the rumors of Michael Jordan's return to basketball, the five companies that
Jordan had major endorsement deals with experienced a nearly $3 billion increase in the market value of their
equity. Jordan was labeled the $2 billion man in the press, referring to the value he created for the shareholders of
the companies he endorses. However, most of these reports failed to cite the simultaneous bull market that lead
the S&P 500 to record highs. The Michael Jordan effect is examined, and it is found that shareholders experienced
negative abnormal returns after the announcement of his retirement and positive excess returns when rumors of a
comeback surfaced. However, it is also shown that the positive excess returns following the rumors of Jordan's
comeback were only temporary and disappeared within weeks of the original rumors. While some evidence is
found in support of a Michael Jordan effect, it appears that the rumors of Jordan's impact have been greatly
exaggerated.
FULL TEXT
On October 6, 1993 Michael Jordan unexpectedly retired from basketball after leading the Chicago Bull's to three
straight NBA championships. The following spring he showed up for spring training with the Chicago White Sox.
Despite his early retirement Jordan maintained his five major endorsement deals from which he is rumored to
receive a total of approximately $30 million annually. These endorsements are highlighted in exhibit 1.
On March 2nd, 1995 Jordan ended his attempt at professional baseball and left the Chicago White Sox spring
training facilities. Shortly after his retirement from baseball, rumors of Jordan's return to basketball surfaced.
These rumors touched off a media frenzy as the popular press tied increases in the stock prices of the companies
Jordan endorses to speculation over his return. The Los Angeles Times reported that five days after the first
reports of his comeback, advertisers experienced a collective $2.3 billion gain in equity value. Time Magazine,
Newsweek, Sports Illustrated and nearly every major newspaper ran similar reports at about the same time. Jordan
was labeled the $2 billion man. The implication was that Jordan's rumored return to basketball increased his value
as an endorser resulting in an over $2 billion dollar gain to shareholders.
Table I illustrates the increase in the market value of the five companies which Jordan endorses. The collective
increase in market value over a nine business day period, from the date of the first rumors until the first trading day
after his comeback announcement, was more than $2.9 billion. The average return over those nine days was
4.59%. The return on the S&P 500 over the same nine day period was just 2.91%.
We examine two questions.
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in t.docx
The Metropolitan Police Department had recently been criticized in the local media for not responding to police calls in the downtown area rapidly enough. In several recent cases, alarms had sounded for break-ins, but by the time the police car arrived, the perpetrators had left, and in one instance a store owner had been shot. Sergeant Joe Davis had been assigned by the chief as head of a task force to find a way to determine the optimal patrol area (dimensions) for their cars that would minimize the average time it took to respond to a call in the downtown area.
Sergeant Davis solicited help from Angela Maris, an analyst in the operations area for the police department. Together they began to work through the problem.
Joe noted to Angela that normal patrol sectors are laid out in rectangles, with each rectangle including a number of city blocks. For illustrative purposes he defined the dimensions of the sector as
x
in the horizontal direction and as
y
in the vertical direction. He explained to Angela that cars traveled in straight lines either horizontally or vertically and turned at right angles.

in a horizontal direction must be accompanied by travel in a vertical direction, and the total distance traveled is the sum of the horizontal and vertical segments. He further noted that past research on police patrolling in urban areas had shown that the average distance traveled by a patrol car responding to a call in either direction was one-third of the dimensions of the sector, or
x
/3 and
y
/3. He also explained that the travel time it took to respond to a call ( assuming that a car left immediately upon receiving the call) is simply the average distance traveled divided by the average travel speed.
Angela told Joe that now that she understood how average travel time to a call was determined, she could see that it was closely related to the size of the patrol area. She asked Joe if there were any restrictions on the size of the area sectors that cars patrolled. He responded that for their city, the department believed that the perimeter of a patrol sector should not be less than 5 miles or exceed 12 miles. He noted several policy issues and
staffing
constraints that required these specifications. Angela wanted to know if any additional restrictions existed, and Joe indicated that the distance in the vertical direction must be at least 50% more than the horizontal distance for the sector. He explained that laying out sectors in that manner meant that the patrol areas would have a greater tendency to overlap different residential, income, and retail areas than if they ran the other way. He said that these areas were layered from north to south in the city. So if a sector area were laid out east to west, all of it would tend to be in one demographic layer.
Angela indicated that she had almost enough information to develop a model, except that she also needed to know the average travel speed the patrol cars could trav.
THE MG371 CASE Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcar.docx
THE MG371 CASE
Growth Pains at Mountain States Healthcare
Background
Mountain States Healthcare (MSH) is a regional system of hospitals located
in several large metropolitan areas of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Colorado,
and in Acapulco, Mexico. MHS started as a single hospital in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and, due to the business acumen and experience of its officers and
Board of Directors, was quite successful and profitable.
Over the years, Salt Lake Hospital began purchasing other hospitals and
clinics in the state that were not as profitably operated, and eventually
changed its name to Utah Health Group (UHG). Each facility continued to
operate as an independent entity, except that its name was changed to
include “Utah Health Group” and UHG instilled its own successful
management style in the newly purchased facilities. When a hospital was
bought in Denver, Colorado, the firm created a medical facility holding
company in Salt Lake City, named Mountain States Healthcare. MHS treated
each facility as a separate subsidiary, except for the clinics, which were
associated with a larger hospital in the area. MSH continued to grow, adding
facilities from the states it declared as its strategic area.
Later, they added a new division of several clinics, an assisted living facility,
and a hospital in the resort city of Acapulco, Mexico, to take advantage of
medical needs of the large tourist and American retirement population there.
The Mexico venture was the most profitable and fastest growing of the MHS
family.
MSH was a profitable venture, but began to realize that some of its
administrative costs were, collectively, much higher than other medical
holding companies, and reducing the profits that could be used for the
benefit of shareholders. Additionally, the higher overhead costs were
affecting the advantage of some hospitals to compete within their districts.
The divisions had historically set themselves apart from other medical
facilities by offering a full line of specialties within their service packages.
The corporate holding company supported this by sharing resources,
technology, and even personnel between the divisions when needed. This
allowed each of the hospitals to position themselves as medical technology
competent full service providers.
A consulting firm pointed out several areas of administration which could be
consolidated, using the latest technology, to realize a tremendous reduction
in costs. The new VP of Finance, Aaron Nelson, newly promoted from the
state billing office manager’s position, suggested that medical billing should
be the first to consolidate. He reasoned that as each of the facilities had
consolidated the billing operations for all facilities within their five geographic
areas a few years ago, they should be able to completely consolidate all
billing with the latest database technology in a fairly short time, and.
The Methods of Communication are Listening, Writing, Talking, Rea.docx

The Meanings of Lives by Susan Wolf (2007) The questi.docx
The Meanings of Lives
by Susan Wolf (2007)
The question, “What is the meaning of life?” was once taken to be a paradigm of
philosophical inquiry. Perhaps, outside of the academy, it still is. In philosophy
classrooms and academic journals, however, the question has nearly disappeared,
and when the question is brought up, by a naïve student, for example, or a
prospective donor to the cause of a liberal arts education, it is apt to be greeted with
uncomfortable embarrassment.
What is so wrong with the question? One answer is that it is extremely obscure, if
not downright unintelligible. It is unclear what exactly the question is supposed to be
asking. Talk of meaning in other contexts does not offer ready analogies for
understanding the phrase “the meaning of life.” When we ask the meaning of a
word, for example, we want to know what the word stands for, what it represents.
But life is not part of a language, or of any other sort of symbolic system. It is not
clear how it could “stand for” anything, nor to whom. We sometimes use “meaning”
in nonlinguistic contexts: “Those dots mean measles.” “Those footprints mean that
someone was here since it rained.” In these cases, talk of meaning seems to be
equivalent to talk of evidence, but the contexts in which such claims are made tend
to specify what hypotheses are in question within relatively fixed bounds. To ask
what life means without a similarly specified context, leaves us at sea.
Still, when people do ask about the meaning of life, they are evidently expressing
some concern or other, and it would be disingenuous to insist that the rest of us
haven’t the faintest idea what that is. The question at least gestures toward a
certain set of concerns with which most of us are at least somewhat familiar. Rather
than dismiss a question with which many people have been passionately occupied
as pure and simple nonsense, it seems more appropriate to try to interpret it and
reformulate it in a way that can be more clearly and unambiguously understood.
Though there may well be many things going on when people ask, “What is the
meaning of life?”, the most central among them seems to be a search to find a
purpose or a point to human existence. It is a request to find out why we are here
(that is, why we exist at all), with the hope that an answer to this question will also
tell us something about what we should be doing with our lives.
If understanding the question in this way, however, makes the question intelligible,
it might not give reason to reopen it as a live philosophical problem. Indeed, if some
of professional philosophy’s discomfort with discussion of the meaning of life comes
from a desire to banish ambiguity and obscurity from the field, as much comes, I
think, from the thought that the question, when made clearer, has already been
answered, and that the answer is depressing. Specifically, if the question of the
Meaning of Life is to be identified w.

The Meaning of Education
Education means something different to everyone. We each have our own ideas about what we need to learn and how we intend to apply this knowledge. Below are five quotations about education from very different perspectives.
“
Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.
” Albert Einstein
“
Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.
” Edward Everett
“
Why should society feel responsible only for the education of children, and not for the education of all adults of every age?
” Erich Fromm
“
I think everyone should go to college and get a degree and then spend six months as a bartender and six months as a cabdriver. Then they would really be educated.

The Mayan religion had around 165 Gods they worshiped. They were very loved for their human-like qualities for the Mayan people to be familiar with. The most important God to the people is that of Itzamna who created humans and the father of the Bacabs. He was the father of fire who created Earth. The Maya believed that he gave them the calendar and writing as well. With other Gods that we have talked about there was usually only one God for the people to worship, with the Maya they have over 100 they choose to worship. Mayan's have a God they worship for many aspects of their life, while the other Gods we read about are not quite as powerful as the Gods that Mayan's worship.

The Martinez family is raising their two children, ages 3 and 5,.docx
The Martinez family is raising their two children, ages 3 and 5, within a small rural community. They are migrant workers and have lived in the community for 4 months. Despite each parent working two jobs, the family seldom has enough money and has occasionally experienced homelessness, particularly when the seasonal nature of their work is interrupted by weather conditions. The family has faced many obstacles, including limited access to healthy nutritional choices, challenges in terms of accessing health care, and the lack of quality, affordable child care, but always work to find a migrant Head Start program for their children within each community they have lived in. The family is working on developing both their own and their children’s English skills through the community library, as they emigrated from Mexico 2 years ago.
To prepare:
Consider the impact of poverty and homelessness, and the vital role professionals play in partnership with families and building supportive contexts. Reflect on the importance of taking a strengths-based approach in which individuals are viewed in light of their capacities, talents, competencies, values, and hopes, recognizing that these might be impacted by present circumstances (Nissen, 2001).

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
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

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
