Factors that influence voting include sociological factors like income, education, gender, religion, region, and family, as well as psychological factors like party affiliation and views of candidates. People with higher incomes and education are more likely to vote. Since the 1980s, women have increasingly voted Democratic, though the gender gap varies among married and single women. Younger voters tend to vote Democratic but at lower rates. Religious groups influence voting patterns, though the impact of religion has changed over time. Geography also plays a role, as the South shifted to the GOP and cities tend Democratic. Party affiliation is complex, as independents rise but demographic groups still lean to one major party.
John Clayton the lobbyist has enjoyed a successful career in the politics of the state of Georgia, something he accredits to receiving a solid educational foundation. John attended the University of Georgia in 1998, impassioned and intrigued with the political process. That same passion would help skyrocket him to the top of his class, and John would graduate three short years later with a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science, preparing him for the political world.

Robert Heist is the president of R. Conor & Associates and a principal attorney based in Illinois. One of Robert Heist’s areas of expertise is the analysis of poverty in schools amongst impoverished children.
A study conducted by University of Maryland researchers has found that economic segregation has deepened in schools nationwide. In other words, children living below the poverty line have become less likely to share a school with children from middle-class families. The number of children below the poverty line that attended elementary school fell from 45 percent in 2000 to 36 percent in 2015.
These gaps represent a generation of children starting their lives with a significant disadvantage compared to others. These divisions are also reportedly synchronized with racial divisions. Latino children from low-income households are more likely to be isolated from middle-income, White families in distinctly underfunded schools. These trends point to White families distancing themselves from poorer ones, which indicates entire neighborhoods becoming racially segregated on an economic basis.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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 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.
