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.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

3. INITIAL STABILIZATION
• Airway, breathing and circulation must be
maintained
• Correct shock, respiratory distress , multiple
organ system failure
• Paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) until the
child is stable.
• Monitoring of pulse rate, BP and respiratory rate
• Frequent neurologic assessment
4. ANTIBIOTICS THERAPY
Appropriate antibiotics selection depends on:
• Causative pathogens
• Age of child
• Local incidence & resistance patterns
• Ability of drug to achieve bactericidal concentration
in CSF
5. ANTIBIOTICS THERAPY
Empirical therapy: (all antibiotics are administered intravenously)
A. Sensitive to beta lactam drungs:
• Penicillin – 1.5 to 4 lakhs unit/kg/24 hours every 4 to 6 hours or
• Cefotaxime- 300 mg/kg/24hrs every 6 hours or
• Ceftriaxone - 100 mg/kg/24hrs every 12 hours or
• Ampicillin – 200mg/kg and Chloramphenicol(100mg/kg/hr)
B. Resistance to beta lactam drungs:
• Vancomycin – 60 mg/kg/24hrs every 6 hours(30mg/kg for neonates)
6. ANTIBIOTICS THERAPY
Empirical therapy: (all antibiotics are administered intravenously)
D. Gram negative meningitis suspicion :
• For E.coli Ampicillin + gentamycin/ cefotaxime – Drug of choice
• If Pseudomonas is suspected - Ceftazidime
C. Allergic to beta lactam drungs:
• Chloramphenicol – 100 mg/kg/24hrs every 6 hours or
• Combination of vancomycin and Rifampin

Proper treatment:
• Gram stain –ve within 24 to 48 hours
• CSF glucose conc. Normalize over 72 hours
11. ICP MANAGEMENT
• Endotracheal tube intubation and hyperventilation( to
maintain the Pco2 at 25mm Hg)
• IV furosemide – 1 mg/ kg and mannitol – 0.5 to 1g/kg
• Dopamine and norepinephrine to ↑ cerebral perfusion
12. SYMPTOMATIC THERAPY:
