This document discusses John Hattie's concept of "Know Thy Impact" and how teachers can maximize their impact on student learning. It suggests that teachers should ensure students know the learning intentions, what success will look like, and strategies they can use to be successful. When teachers make the learning goals clear and provide appropriate challenges and feedback, students are better able to drive their own learning. The document promotes the use of Understanding by Design framework and lists resources on Visible Learning and Hattie's research on instructional strategies that significantly improve student achievement.
Using hands on activities in the science classroomBecky Hardner
This is a tutorial about ways to incorporate more hands on science actvities in your classroom. It was designed with a specific school in mind, but can be applied to any school. Hands on activities encourage higher level thinking and more student engagement.
This is a presentation that identifies the different types of learners and the characteristics of each group.

It's All Elementary: Elementary Literacy Strategies in the Secondary ClassroomJennifer Marten
We want students to be literate; to have strong content knowledge so they can respond to the demands of the secondary classroom and beyond. However, some students come to high school lacking the skills needed to comprehend and critique the content material. This is frustrating, not only for the students, but also for secondary teachers, content specialists who may not have experience with teaching literacy skills. This workshop focuses on ways to incorporate elementary strategies into the secondary classroom without watering down the content. Emphasis will be on building vocabulary and comprehension, using children’s books to draw connections, and finding ways to make every student an active participant in the learning
Feedback is one of the most powerful ways to increase student achievement. This workshop will focus on what the research says about quality feedback, how feedback can focus on different needs, and how to use feedback as formative assessment. . It’s also important to touch on not only how to give feedback but how to receive feedback and find the value in it. Examples and strategies will be shared to help teachers give feedback that students will use. We will also look at student-to-student feedback, student-to-teacher feedback, and touch briefly on how to offer feedback to peers.

Teachers want to encourage students in their learning but are often unsure of how to do this in a way that actually creates change. Too much feedback (the paper covered in red ink) overwhelms, and too little feedback (Great job!) gives no real information. What does the research say about quality feedback, how feedback can focus on different needs, and how to use feedback as formative assessment?

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
