June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

2. Did you know?
Up to 70% of pollution in streams,
rivers and lakes comes from storm
water runoff.
3. Planting a Rain Garden Garden……
•• reduces the amount of storm water entering
storm drains
•• helps reduce the amount of flooding by
keeping water contained so that it can drain
slowly over a period of time
•• allows soil to filter out pollutants and reduce
the amount of nonpoint source pollution
entering our streams
10. Rain and snow melt pick up these natural
and human human-made pollutants, finally
depositing them into lakes, rivers,
wetlands, coastal waters, and even our
underground sources of drinking water
11. Impervious surfaces (ones that do not allow water
to percolate or drain through soil such as
buildings, parking lots, etc) contribute runoff water
and increase the amount of pollutants in runoff.
12. Rain Garden
A garden designed specifically to
improve water quality.
13. Rain Gardens allow approximately 30%
more water to soak into the ground.
24. Determine the location
Near the house to catch only roof
run off or out on the lawn to
catch water from the lawn and
roof
25. Location
•• A gentle slope (no more than 10%)
–– Remember that the garden needs to be dug into a
bowl shape and the greater the slope the deeper the
bowl that will need to be created
•• At least 10 feet from your foundation
•• Near a downspout or where water naturally
drains
•• Away from areas where water already ponds as
there will be little infiltration in this area
26. Planning stage
•• Estimate the area which will drain into
your garden (roof and/or lawn)
•• Determine the type of soil (sand or clay)
•• Gardens planted in sandy soil should be
20 20-30 % the size of the drain area
•• Gardens planted in clay soil should be
60% of the drain area
27. Example
Dylan Dylan’’s house is 50 feet by 40 feet so the roof area is 2000
sq ft. (50 x 40 = 2000)
He has two downspouts and will plant a rain garden in the
back yard which will collect water from approximately
half of the roof area or 1000 sq ft.
His soil is sandy so the size of the rain garden should be
approximately 250 sq ft. (1000 x .25 = 250)
28. Remember that a rain garden
of any size will help to control
storm water runoff
29. Building the Rain Garden
•• Be sure you check with your utility company
before attempting to dig in your yard.
•• Lay out the garden with a garden hose or
landscaper landscaper’’s spray paint.
•• Start digging on the uphill side of the garden
•• Remember that you will be moving soil from the
uphill to the downhill side of the garden to
create a berm and the bowl shape of the rain
garden
30. Creating the berm
•• The berm will be the highest on the downhill
side of the rain garden
•• The berm will gradually decrease as you go up
the sides of the rain garden
•• After shaping the berm be sure to stomp it down
so that it is well compacted
•• Cover the berm with compost/mulch or plant
grass or a dry tolerant native plant to control
erosion on the berm
31. Planting the garden
•• Consider the height, color, moisture
tolerance and bloom time of plant material
•• Plant in groups of 3, 5 or 7 of the same
variety
•• Add rocks, boulders or other ornamental
features to add interest
•• Water at least once a week until plants are
established
32. Maintaining the garden
•• Weed out any invasive or non native
plants until natives are established
•• Stems and seed heads can be left to stand
for winter interest and to attract birds and
other wildlife to the garden
•• As spring approaches cut back all standing
growth and compost or discard
•• Occasionally the plants should be divided
35. Why plant a rain garden ?
•• To prevent flooding and excess storm
water damage
•• To limit the amount of erosion and cut
down on sediment entering our waterways
•• To filter out and limit the amount of
pollutants reaching our waterways
•• To provide habitat for wildlife
