Resume Writing for Autistic Teens and Adults Toni Boucher
Having a professional resume helps prospective candidates but for autistic job searchers the resume is much more as it acts as a visual support to help with the most difficult part of job hunting- the interview. Many times an autistic candidate is the best person for the job but because they may struggle with showing their best side during an interview their skills may be difficult to recognize in an interview.

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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Introduction
PCPL already had a very basic teen volunteer program. Teen volunteer help was primarily sought during the summer to help with the summer reading program. It was up to each individual branch to provide training and decide how much help and what teens would help with. The dusenberry river branch library has many teens interested in volunteering so year round, I was getting requests to volunteer. I would have teens starting and stopping at different times and training was spotty depending on my schedule and the teens schedule. The “help” we were getting was sometimes a lot more work than it was worth. I also started realizing how difficult it is for teens to get a job in the increasingly tight job market. They need more skills just to get an entry level job. I realized I needed a structured program that would allow me to ensure my volunteers had solid in order to help them get the experience and skill set they would be able to use in the future, and I would be getting quality volunteer work.
That is it basically
This program has three distinctive features, the structure of the program, the specific training the volunteers receive and the experience the teens get.
Explain the structure
Why it is good? – having volunteer sessions allows us to provide volunteer opportunities to more teens and it keeps volunteers on the same track for training and volunteering. It also allows for a more realistic job experience in a condensed amount of time.
Volunteers are now receiving very specific, structured training. The training is focused on giving teens the skills they will need to be successful as new employees and future job seekers.
Tell story of Aaron in library task training
Applications were already in place but we added the interview process. This has two benefits. The teens get experience with the interview process before it is high stakes and it also gives us a before and after example to talk about during the job interview skills training. It also helps us ensure that the volunteers who participate in the program are motivated and have follow through.
I always ask the teen to call in and schedule the interview. If the parent is there with the teen and seems to be the one pushing the teen, I explain that calling for the interview is part of the job experience practice
There are two training sessions. One at the beginning of the volunteer session focused on what the teens will be doing. And one at the end focused on how to take the skills they have just learned and apply them to getting a job in the future.
The first part of the initial training always includes basic job skills training. I make it clear to the teens that the volunteer session is structured the same way a job is structured which will give them experience and practice with job skills. I expect them to call if they will be late or unable to attend their shift, I explain basic work expectations and some of the rules we have at the library (like wearing close toed shoes)
I spend a lot of time talking about the importance of customer service and how to provide good customer service. Most of the teen volunteers assume they will be helping to put books away. I explain the concept of behind the scenes customer service and why it is so important to shelve books quickly and accurately. I want them to make a connection between everything they do and the experience that our library customers have. This is one of the “bridge moments” we have with the teen volunteers. I explain that customer service at the library is very similar to customer service anywhere else and the skills they will be using as a volunteer will be the skills they will need if they get a job at starbucks or stocking shelves at the grocery store.
This portion of the training is the nuts and bolts of the teen volunteer experience. This part of the training would depend on what tasks your library decides a teen volunteer will be helping with. The training during the summer includes how to staff the summer reading table and how to work with young children and their parents, during the school year, I focus more on shelving and shelf reading.
This training session is provided at the end of the volunteer session. I explain some general resume and job skills concepts and then we focus specifically on the skills they have just learned and how they may want to write that up on a resume and how they would talk about their experience in a job interview.
Bobby started off as a non-library user. He asked about volunteering at the library because he was having a hard time finding a job and his parents said if he volunteered somewhere, they would help pay his car insurance. He applied for the program and started volunteering. After a few weeks of volunteering he asked how to use the library catalog and how he could check out books. After a few more weeks of volunteering he asked about getting a job at the library. He took the initiative to apply to the county teen job program through which we hire our teen employees, when a job opened up, I was able to hire Bobby.
Katie started out as what I think of as the typical bookish teen. She wanted something to do during the summer and loves books and reading so decided to ask about volunteering at the library. She was very shy and quite when she started volunteering. I am pretty sure she thought the library would be a quite place where she could look at books. Of course, summer at the library is far from quite and Katie spent a lot of time helping kids sign up for the summer reading program and answering questions. It was difficult for her at first but the structured training helped her feel confident with the interactions with library customers. Katie asked to continue volunteering during the school year and she has been helping with our read to a dog program. Katie now confidently greets kids at the door, explains what the program is all about, helps kids with crafts while they are waiting for their turn and even fills in as a reading partner if the dogs can’t make it. She has become confident and comfortable working with the public
