1. The Open High School Program (OHSP) aims to make education accessible to anyone through an open learning system that can take place anywhere.
2. Learners who wish to participate in OHSP take an assessment to determine their readiness for independent learning and are placed in programs accordingly, ranging from teacher-supported transition programs to fully independent study.
3. For OHSP to be successful, the program must be owned by the participating school and local community to ensure support, resources, and sustained implementation through partnerships. Rigid monitoring of learner progress is also critical to apply interventions when needed.

Establishing Trust Between School Teachers and University Facultynoblex1
The professional development school initiatives show the greatest promise in school reform due to collaborative efforts in teacher preparation. Educators in both public schools and in universities must work together in the preparation of teachers who are culturally, socially and instructionally responsive to student diversity. This lofty preparation aim begins with selecting the most promising teacher candidates for admittance into the program. The author describes an admissions procedure that has proven to be not only efficient and effective, but reflects the collaborative values of the program.
For over a decade, advocates of educational reform have supported professional development schools (PDSs) as a way for school and university partners to promote simultaneous renewal of both institutions. PDS aims are now commonplace: (a) provide exemplary education for preservice teachers, (b) support continuing professional development of experienced teachers, (c) engage in the renewal of curriculum and instruction, and (d) involve schools and universities in collaborative research.
Essential to these aims is the collaborative process. Establishing trust, recognizing cultural differences, and breaking perceived roles between school teachers and university faculty are key if partnerships are to be anything more than traditional in nature. University instructors, including teacher educators, are entering into cooperative working ventures with more frequency than ever before. Critical to the successful attainment of any partnership project are the people involved and the common commitment to program quality and coherence. In the ongoing process of developing, nurturing, and maintaining partnerships, one can expect to confront both predictable and unforeseen obstacles. Sharing information on program structures and systems will help advance the development of university and K-12 partnerships. The purpose of this article is twofold: (a) to describe, and (b) to analyze an admissions procedure, which reflects the values of the program and efficiently and effectively promotes the involvement of K-12 personnel in what is traditionally a university decision. To this end, we briefly discuss the history of this partnership and the key values that drive our work. Next, we elaborate on the admissions process and how it reflects those values in linking the university and schools. In taking stock of where we have made progress and where we have not, we examine the perceptions of major stakeholders in this process. We conclude with a discussion of recommendations to others considering similar efforts.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

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.
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.

The open high school program learning anywhere, anytime
1.
2. Mechanics of Implementation
1. Independent Learning ReadinessAssessment
Learners who wish to participate in the Open High
School Program shall take the Independent Learning
Readiness Assessment to be administered by the
school, the results of which shall be the basis for
placing them in the appropriate learning mode:
3. a. Learners, who are not yet ready for independent learning,
are placed in the transition program which will provide a
bridging curriculum focused on the development of the
learning-to-learn skills.
b. When the learners are assessed to be almost ready for
independent learning, then they may be placed in the
blended learning program when undertaking the required
curriculum.
c. Learners who are ready for independent learning may do
the entire curriculum on their own, or be home-schooled,
with the option to seek teacher’s guidance or help from
experts or resource persons in the community.
4. 2. Learning Contract
once the learners get into the program, they and their
parents/ guardians are oriented on the mechanics and the
requirements of the curriculum including assessments.
3. Curriculum
The core curriculum prescribed for those in the formal
learning system is the same curriculum that learners in the
Open High School will go through, the only difference
being the mode of learning.
5. 4. Working withTeacher-Facilitators
When the learners’ readiness to learn independently
has been established, they are given the modules (or access
to the online learning resources when these are available)
which they can take home.
5. Assessments
Assessments are a critical component of the learning
materials.
6. Issues and Challenges
The Open High School was designed originally as an
alternative learning system for those who are unable to start or
complete secondary education due to problems of time,
distance, education design, physical impairment, or financial
difficulties, and for those living in areas of conflict. This design
inadvertently created the impression that he program was for
at-risk students only.
The system is learner-centered and makes use of a wide range
of teaching-learning strategies through a combination of print
and non-print media.
7. Lesson and Insights
The program was initially micro-tested in a number of schools and
was subsequently revised to address some implementation issues. The
revision were based on lessons and insights gained from the micro-
testing.
One critical lesson is that self-directed learning, as a basic feature of
the Open High School Program, is ideal if students can indeed learn on
their own. This implies that a lot of capacity-building will need to happen
before learners can be certified as ready for independent learning.
Experience has shown that those children who drop out or who are out-
of-school are usually incapable of learning on their own. Thus, as a safety
net, the program provides tutorials and intensive teacher guidance and
monitoring until such time when the learner can demonstrate capacity
for independent learning.
8. Automatically putting at-risk students in the alternative delivery
mode of learning on the assumption that this is what they need in
order to complete their basic education outside of formal school
structure suffers from a too linear view of the problem of school
dropouts. Research has shown and, as our experience in working
with public secondary schools reveals, that the problem is brought
on by a host of factors, hence the dropout intervention cannot
certainly be limited to how education is delivered.
9. What has emerged from the experience of public secondary
schools and their communities is an integrated, systemic and
collaborative approach to dropout reduction that recognizes
that uniqueness and capacities of schools and its personalized
and customized to the needs of at-risk students as it addresses
the specific causes of dropping out.
10. Necessarily, schools must own the program. Normally, schools
would be assigned to participate in the try-out. We learned, however,
that success rate can be high if the schools themselves volunteer to get
involved. Thus, when the program was revised, the criteria for
participation were likewise refined and true enough when the invitation
was issued to the field, many schools even from far-flung areas signed
up.
11. Moreover, in order to ensure that the program is sustained,
the community must be made to own it. The public schools do
not have the resources to support multi-channel learning. Thus,
it will benefit the learners if the school can establish partnership
with non-government organizations, the local government unit,
and the parents for additional resources for learning. One of the
requirements asked of participating schools is the certification of
financial support from the local government unit. Another
requirement is that the community must make available to the
learners its facilities for off-school learning. In addition, parents
or guardians are required to co-sign with the learners the
learning contract with the school in order to establish joint
12. Lastly, a rigid monitoring and evaluation system must
be in place in order to ensure that learners have mastered
the tools of learning how to learn and that they have the
capacity to benefit from the system. It is not enough that
learners are given the materials for learning. The school
must be able to keep track of the learners’ progress and
apply the appropriate intervention when necessary.
13. 1. Schools is no longer a place, but a process that can take
place anytime, anywhere and which must be made available to
anyone. School is an open learning system that will make
education accessible to everyone, and will recognize learning
regardless of how and where it is acquired.
2. Learners who wish to participate in the Open High School
Program go through the following steps:
a) Take the Independent Learning Readiness Assessment
Learners, who are yet ready for independent learning, are
placed in the transition program which provides a bridging
curriculum focused on the development of the learning-to-
learn skills.
14. Learners who are assessed to be almost ready for independent
learning, they may be placed in the blended learning program, a
combination of school-based, face-to-face learning and distance
learning or home schooling.
Learners who are ready for independent learning may do the entire
curriculum on their own. Or be home-schooled and may seek teacher’s
guidance or help from experts or resource persons in the community if
they want to do so.
b) Sign the Learning Contract
The learners and their parents or guardians sign a learning contract
with the school after they have been oriented on the mechanics and
requirements of the curriculum.
15. 3. Learners of the OHSP go through the same core curriculum as the
formal school system. They are subjected to the same guidelines on
assessment and grading system.
4. OHSP is not only for students at-risk. It is for all students including
high-performing who actually are most ready for independent
learning.
5. For OHSP to succeed, the following conditions are necessary:
a) The learners must be ready for self-directed learning.
b) The program must be owned by the school and community.
c) A rigid monitoring and evaluation system must be in place and so
the school must be able to keep track of the learners’ progress and
apply the appropriate intervention when necessary.
