The document discusses how poverty affects education. It argues that poverty is the underlying problem plaguing many failing schools. Children living in poverty often lack resources and face challenges such as absenteeism, smaller vocabularies, behavioral issues, unstable home lives, and lower performance on exams. However, the document provides solutions such as incorporating daily vocabulary lessons, building relationships with students, understanding their backgrounds, and analyzing student data to tailor lessons for success.
socio economic barriers to learning affect hundreds of children around the world, hence children drop out due to limited support they get in schools and from the society at large.These barriers need to be addressed so that learners can learn without limitations.
Poverty puts young children at great risk; they are exposed to experiences and environments that are detrimental to their health and well-being. (Committee on Integrating the Science of Early Childhood, 2000) The difference in the socioeconomic backgrounds of children implicates significant differences in their language development and level of academic achievement.

This group presentation examined culture & poverty with its connection to social justice. The presentation also discusses Payne's (2005) definition and key points on poverty, a case study on Urban Detroit schools, and future recommendations to improve the current state of poverty in education.
Poverty, Inequality and Social Change in Children’s LivesYoung Lives Oxford
At a special event to launch findings from Rounds 1 to 4 of the Young Lives survey, Professor Jo Boyden, Director of Young Lives gave an overview of findings to date, focusing on how a multi-disciplinary, multi-country study like Young Lives enables us to view trends over time, not just in India but also across four diverse countries. Child development and economic development are mutually reinforcing, she argued. We have seen a decade of growth, with reductions in poverty levels and improvement in infrastructure and service access (particularly primary enrolment) across all our study countries. The question we must now address is how we deal with entrenched inequalities, which need integrated measures across government departments to invest in child development.

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

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 Two Sides of the Coin: Poverty and Education by Michael G. Sheppard
1. THE TWO SIDES OF THE COIN: POVERTY AND
EDUCATION
BY. MICHAEL G. SHEPPARD
2. POVERTY IS THE PROBLEM
• Many Americans believe that the major problem within public
education is the lack of focus within the administration of a
school.
• They even go as far as to blame the teachers for not providing
the adequate time and skills needed for their child to grow and
learn on a day-to-day basis.
• As much as we can over analyze the various policies, it is
important that we become more aware and cognizant of the
overarching problem that has plagued our schools for years,
poverty.
3. POVERTY IS THE PROBLEM
• Poverty, in itself, is a very
uncomfortable topic.
• But, like it or not, it is a
conversation that we need to
start having.
• For many of our schools,
especially those that are failing,
poverty is right behind it. Many
of these well deserving
students are held back at
incredible opportunities to
grow because of lack of
funding or lack of resources.
4. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING? WHY
IS THIS A PROBLEM?
• More than 16 million children are growing up in
poverty in which 22% of all children live in families
with incomes below the federal poverty level of
$23,550 a year. Research has shown that children
living in poverty have a higher number of
absenteeism and dropout rates than those coming
from middle class or higher.
5.
6. NOW HOW DOES THIS AFFECT THE CLASSROOMS AND HOW
CAN WE SOLVE IT?
7. PROBLEM: LACKING THE
FOUNDATION
• For our students, children who grow up in low
socioeconomic conditions typically have a smaller
vocabulary than middle or higher-class children do,
which increases the risk for academic failure.
• Much of this attributes to lack of exposure. Whether
the words are spoken or read, low socioeconomic
households will in most cases, to be able to provide
their child with that elementary foundation.
8. SOLUTION: LACKING THE
FOUNDATION
• In the classroom, this lack of
exposure can impact various
lesson plans and
achievement for both the
teacher and the student.
• Educators should try and
incorporate vocabulary
practice on a daily basis. The
more exposure to new and
unique words can enrich the
student in successful ways.
9. PROBLEM: STUDENT-TEACHER
RELATIONSHIP
• Many teachers, especially new teachers into the field, find many
students in low-income areas to be behaviorally difficult and
inattentive to the work.
• As much as we want to blame the student, we need to understand
their background and their stories. One reason why many student
seem unmotivated at the school work is a lack of hope or optimism
related to their outside problems.
• Low socioeconomic students often deal with problems bigger than
themselves. Whether they are financial hardships or absent guardians,
these types of negative problems can take a toll on the mentality of
the student causing them to act in a very brash and hasty way.
10. SOLUTION: STUDENT-TEACHER
RELATIONSHIP
• One thing a teacher should do
to aid the situation is to build a
relationship with the student.
• Establishing any type of
relationship with the student
can benefit you as well as the
overall classroom.
• In addition, providing positive
reinforcement can give the
child the necessary confidence
to perform at an academic
basis.
11. PROBLEM: HOME RELATIONSHIPS
• Many disruptive home relationships often create
mistrust in students. Parent or guardian figures that
have often failed students at home can project to
adults at the school. Classroom misbehaviors are
likely to increase because of these at-home
instabilities.
12. SOLUTION: HOME RELATIONSHIPS
• The best way to handle
this type of situation is to
develop a relationship
with that child.
• Understanding, listening,
and talking with a child
can provide you a strong
advantage especially
later down the line.
13. PROBLEM: PERFORMANCE ON
EXAMS
• Studies have shown that children from lower
socioeconomic background often perform below those
from higher socioeconomic backgrounds on state exams.
• Many students coming from specific communities are
found to struggle with the core subjects such as reading,
math, science, etc.
• In addition, many of the schools that the students attend
lack the necessary resources and teachers to provide
them the foundation to develop these core skills.
14. SOLUTION: PERFORMANCE ON
EXAMS
• What a school can do to
help nullify this problem is
by strategically analyze the
strengths and weaknesses
of each of their student.
• By having this type of data,
a teacher is able to break
down lessons so that his
students can be successful.
