Part 1: Lesson Plan Analysis
What is the academic standard?
To utilize information gained from illustrations such as maps and photographs and the words in text to illustrate comprehension of the text. This entails identifying when, where and how major events occur.
· What is the learning objective?
At the end of the lesson students should be able to explain the importance of illustration in understanding a text. They should be able to utilize the pictures and words in the text to illustrate their comprehension of material with an accuracy of 80%.
· Are the standard and objective aligned? How do you know? Provide a rationale.
The standard and objective are entirely aligned. To determine whether standards and objective are aligned, one is supposed to determine to what level the learning objectives support and interact with the academic standards (Estes, 2015). The academic standards pay attention on utilization of illustrations to understand a text and the learning objectives support this because they focus on students being able to explain the importance of illustrations in comprehending a text.
· What is the lesson about? What does this lesson cover?
The lesson is about a medieval feast study. It focusses on reading information text. Students are supposed to utilize illustrations and words acquired from the Medieval Feast text to illustrated their understanding of the text.
· Do the assessments effectively measure the academic standard and learning objective? Justify your response.
The assessments adequately measure the academic standard and learning objective. Assessments adequately measure standards and objectives in case they are able to determine how well students have mastered what they were taught in the classroom (York, 2017). By completing a vocabulary activity, the instructor will be able to evaluate the results and determine how well the students mastered the concepts taught in class. By developing a list of vocabulary words and trying to determine their meanings, the instructor will be able to determine the areas students have understood and areas that he/she should teach.

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.
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.

6. Academic Dishonesty & Plagiarism from NCC College Policy)
Academic dishonesty, which includes plagiarism and cheating, will result in
some form of disciplinary action that may lead to suspension or expulsion under
the rules of the Student Code of Conduct. Cheating can take many forms
including but not limited to copying from another
student on an examination, using improper forms of assistance, or receiving
unauthorized aid when preparing an independent item of work to be submitted
for a grade, be it in written, verbal or electronic form. Anyone who assists or
conspires to assist another in an act of plagiarism or any
other form of academic dishonesty may also be subject to disciplinary action.
Plagiarism is a particular type of academic dishonesty that involves taking the
words, phrases or ideas of another person and presenting them as one's own.
This can include using whole papers and paragraphs or even sentences or
phrases. Plagiarized work may also involve statistics, lab
assignments, art work, graphics, photographs, computer programs and other
materials. The sources of plagiarized materials include but are not limited to
books, magazines, encyclopedias or journals; electronic retrieval sources such
as materials on the Internet; other individuals; or paper writing services.
A student may be judged guilty of plagiarism if the student:
(a) Submits as one's own an assignment produced by another, in whole or in
part.
(b) Submits the exact words of another, paraphrases the words of another or
presents statistics, lab assignments, art work, graphics, photographs, computer
programs and other materials without attributing the work to the source,
suggesting that this work is the student's own.
Allegations of student plagiarism and academic dishonesty will be dealt with by
the appropriate academic department personnel. It is the policy of Nassau
Community College that, at the discretion of the faculty member, serious acts
will be reported in writing to the Office of the Dean of Students, where such
records will be kept for a period of five years beyond the student's last
semester of attendance at the College. These records will remain internal to the
College and will not be used in any evaluation made for an outside individual or
agency unless there is a disciplinary
action determined by a formal ruling under the Student Code of Conduct, in
which case only those records pertaining to the disciplinary action may apply. A
student whose alleged action is reported to the Office of the Dean of Students
will be notified by that office and will have the right
to submit a letter of denial or explanation. The Dean will use his/her discretion
in determining whether the alleged violation(s) could warrant disciplinary action
under the Student Code of Conduct. In that case the procedures governing the
Code of Conduct will be initiated.

7. Copyright statement: The Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 (HEOA)
requires the College to address unauthorized distribution of copyrighted
materials, including unauthorized peer-to-peer file sharing.
Thus, the College strictly prohibits the users of its networks from engaging in
unauthorized distribution of copyrighted materials, including unauthorized peer-
to-peer file sharing. Anyone who engages in such illegal file sharing is violating
the United States Copyright law, and may be subject to criminal and civil
penalties. Under federal law, a person found to have infringed upon a
copyrighted work may be liable for actual damages and lost profits attributable
to the infringement, and statutory damages of up to $150,000. The copyright
owner also has the right to permanently enjoin an infringer from further
infringing activities, and the infringing copies and equipment used in the
infringement can be impounded and destroyed. If a copyright owner elected to
bring a civil lawsuit against the copyright infringer and ultimately prevailed in
the claim, the infringer may also become liable to the copyright owner for their
attorney's fees and court costs. Finally, criminal penalties may be assessed
against the infringer and could include jail time, depending upon the severity of
the violation. Students should be aware that unauthorized or illegal use of
College computers (such as engaging in illegal file sharing and distribution of
copyrighted materials), is an infraction of the Student Code of Conduct and may
subject them to disciplinary measures. To explore legal alternatives to
unauthorized downloading, please consult the following website:
