This document discusses using CLASS observations to provide feedback to teachers as a way to promote professional growth. It emphasizes that teacher-child interactions are key to improving student outcomes. Effective feedback involves identifying areas of focus, providing specific examples from observations, and asking reflective questions. The teacher's readiness to change should influence how feedback is delivered, with less ready teachers needing more information and awareness building. Developing goals and action plans can help teachers work on improving their interactions. Coaching and professional development support teachers in transferring feedback into practice.

Developing learning capacity for teachersJune Wall
As new learning skills emerge it is necessary for teachers to develop sufficient capacity to develop learning programs that will provide the opportunity for students to develop these critical learning skills. ‘Learning and Literacy for the future: Building capacity Part 2’ by June Wall and Karen Bonanno, published in Scan, Volume 33, Issue 4 in 2014 considers a capacity building approach, through formal and information professional learning experiences, to ensure teachers develop competencies and capacity to help improve learning outcomes and prepare students for the rapidly changing world of work.
A capacity building tool is outlined and explained as a development tool for teachers to develop capabilities for future learning. Reflection and strategic visioning, that includes the development of a personal professional learning plan, is an integral component of the tool and will also be explained in this presentation.
What is Competency-based Education?
Competency-based education, or CBE, is a student-centered approach that encourages self-paced learning and the development of students' skills.

Student teacher relationships and learning outcomes flowerbomb22
This slideshow aims to provide teachers and pre service teachers with an understanding on student teacher relationships and learning outcomes through theories, research, a research proposal, recommendations and strategies for improving student teacher relationships in the classroom.
Personality development includes boosting one’s confidence, improving communication and language speaking abilities, widening one’s scope of knowledge, developing certain hobbies or skills, learning fine etiquettes and manners, adding style and grace to the way one looks, talks and walks and overall imbibing oneself with positivity, liveliness and peace.
Experiential learning (ExL) is the process of learning through experience, and is more narrowly defined as "learning through reflection on doing".Hands-on learning can be a form of experiential learning but does not necessarily involve students reflecting on their product. Experiential learning is distinct from rote or didactic learning, in which the learner plays a comparatively passive role. It is related to, but not synonymous with, other forms of active learning such as action learning, adventure learning, free-choice learning, cooperative learning, service learning, and situated learning.
Experiential learning is often used synonymously with the term "experiential education", but while experiential education is a broader philosophy of education, experiential learning considers the individual learning process.[7] As such, compared to experiential education, experiential learning is concerned with more concrete issues related to the learner and the learning context.
The general concept of learning through experience is ancient. Around 350 BC, Aristotle wrote in the Nicomachean Ethics "for the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them".[8] But as an articulated educational approach, experiential learning is of much more recent vintage. Beginning in the 1970s, David A. Kolb helped develop the modern theory of experiential learning, drawing heavily on the work of John Dewey, Kurt Lewin, and Jean Piaget.
Experiential learning has significant teaching advantages. Peter Senge, the author of The Fifth Discipline (1990), states that teaching is of utmost importance to motivate people. Learning only has good effects when learners have the desire to absorb the knowledge. Therefore, experiential learning requires the showing of directions for learners.
Experiential learning entails a hands-on approach to learning that moves away from just the teacher at the front of the room imparting and transferring their knowledge to students. It makes learning an experience that moves beyond the classroom and strives to bring a more involved way of learning.

Empowering Early Childhood Leaders to Drive Instructional ChangeTeachstone
Early childhood leaders (center directors, principals, executive directors) have been systematically ignored in the quality improvement efforts that have occurred at the local, state, and national level. Professional learning has been provided to teachers and coaches, but little is available for school leaders. Strong early childhood leadership, grounded in an understanding of the drivers of quality evidenced-based teaching strategies are essential to improving instructional quality. The research around teacher-child interactions as documented in studies improving the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS) lies at the foundation of quality. This presentation will provide an overview of the CLASS framework for early childhood leaders and discuss strategies that can be used to improve instruction within their schools.

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.
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.

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.

44. Feedback Process
Questions to Consider
• Are you providing feedback as a supervisor or coach? Or
both?
• What is the purpose of the feedback session?
• What is the frequency of the feedback sessions in your
organization?
• How much time do you have?
• Will the teacher have advance notice of the meeting?
• Where will the meeting take place?
• Are you providing documentation (report, video) as part
of the meeting?
45. Which Hat are you Wearing?
In early childhood education, staff often work
in multiple roles and wear many hats. It is
important to identify both to yourself and to
the teacher which hat you are wearing when
providing feedback.
Share with your table partner how supervisor
feedback is different than coach feedback
and proactive measures you have taken to
separate the two.
48. Teacher Variations Discussion
• How do the teachers you support differ in their
characteristics?
• How do you differentiate to support individual
teachers?
o For example, teachers’ prior knowledge of the CLASS
measure may be varied. You may have to do more or
less teaching about CLASS terminology as a result.
