Teacher Interview: Amber Velasquez
Amber Velasquez is a second-grade teacher at Chandler Oaks Elementary School, in Round Rock, Texas. Ms. Velasquez is in her second year of teaching. She grew up in Round Rock, did her student teaching in the school district, and is now a second-year teacher. From the time I was 5 years old I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went to school in Round Rock, graduated from there, and now I teach there.
What is your school like?
The school has grades K–5 and is in its second year with 600-plus students. Our families are middle and upper class, depending on where they live. The two-story building is brand new, with lots of technology. Our district has a contract with Dell, a big company in Austin, so we have lots of technology.
We have windows on the outside of each classroom. They are fairly big. We also have windows looking into the hallway. The school expectation is that your blinds are always up for the windows looking outside and the ones facing inside. In many ways you are teaching in a fish bowl!
All six of the second-grade classroom doors face a big central area called the “Village.” This area is an extension of our classrooms. The Village houses technology including a big document camera and Smart Board that we can use for grade-level presentations and lessons. Each classroom has a bathroom, so there are no big bathroom breaks. Also, there is a back walkway joining each classroom.
What advice do you have for teacher education candidates?
Let me fast forward to something I wish I had known: I just want to share that this profession is a changing profession. There are going to be lots of trends that happen. There is going to be a lot of curriculum that you will learn is the “right way,” and the only way during your teacher preparation classes. Then you will learn that in the real world it will be taught in a different way.
Best practice is a growing practice. It is OK to feel passionate about the way a curriculum is taught, but you still need to be knowledgeable about other ways to deliver the same curriculum. Set high expectations for yourself as a personal learner. As you move closer to securing a teaching position and even after you have obtained one, seek out professional development opportunities, conferences, seminars, and books. The pressure of learning best practice increases once you earn your license. Hold yourself accountable for meeting your learning expectations.
To what extent are parents involved in your school?
Our parents are very involved. They are on campus all the time. If teachers have something they need done, such as a bulletin board, copies, or something cut out, a parent will volunteer to do that for you. There is a room called the Pro Center. Parents can work on projects there. What is wonderful about utilizing parent volunteers is that a teacher can spend her time working on things that are more academi ...

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.

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.
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.
