Making the required long-term investments to address global challenges and create opportunity for all. Democratizing social and technological innovation to drive global and local impact. SESSION TYPES The annual theme will be carried throughout the various programming of the 2015 Annual Meeting. Session formats will include: PLENARY SESSIONS (Open press) are moderated discussions, bringing together key leaders to present cross-sector perspectives and methods for reimagining solutions to global challenges. SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS (Closed press) are in-depth conversations in 3 which participants focus on specific topics of interest, using alternate lenses and identifying strategies to re-envision the outcomes of their efforts. BREAKOUT SESSIONS (Open press with limited capacity) bring members together to network, partner, and learn through a number of distinct formats: Future Labs: In these collaborative, forward-thinking sessions, CGI members will work in smaller groups to craft their ideal vision of the future and generate ideas for future Commitments to Action. Calls to Action: These workshop-style sessions engage members in the four CGI Calls to Action, harnessing the CGI community's unique ability to address these issues through the creation of crosscutting Commitments to Action.

  • Fareed Zakaria Commencement Address Thank You So Much
    Fareed Zakaria Commencement address Thank you so much President Faust, Fellows of the Corporation, Overseers, Ladies and Gentlemen, and graduates. To the graduates in particular, I have to tell you, you're way ahead of me already. I never made it to my commencement, either from College or graduate school. I went to college south of here, in a small town called New Haven, Connecticut, and well, I celebrated a bit the night before the ceremony. The honest truth is, I slept through much of my Commencement. Then, after I had finally made in to Harvard for graduate school, I took a job before I had finished my Ph. D. and wrote the final chapters while working in New York. I couldn’t get away from work for Commencement, and I got my degree in the mail. So, 19 years later, it is a great honor to receive, in person, a Harvard degree. Harvard was, for me, a revelation. Contrary to the conventional wisdom on this campus, it is possible to receive a fine education at Yale, and I did. But Harvard’s great graduate programs have an ambition, energy, and range that, for me, made it a dazzling, electric experience. Getting a Ph. D. involves many hours of grueling work but, if you do it right, also many hours of goofing off with friends, acquiring new hobbies and interests, and working your way through the great resources here – from the libraries to cafes. I fully availed myself of these opportunities and the time spent not working (in a formal sense) was as valuable as the hours in seminar rooms.

  • Political News Election
    HTTP://WWW.UPSCPORTAL.COM POLITICAL NEWS ELECTION COMMISSION AT 60 After overseeing 15 general elections to the Lok Sabha, the Election Commission of India, in its diamond jubilee year, can with justifiable pride claim to have nursed and st rengthened the electoral processes of a nascent democracy. The successes have not been consiste nt or uniform, but over the last six decades the ECI managed to make the worlds largest democratic p rocess freer and fairer. One of the instruments of this success is surely the Model Code of C onduct. D esigned to offer a level playing field to all political parties, it has been used to neu tralise many of the inherent advantages of a ruling party in an election. Although the model code wa s originally based on political consensus and does not still enjoy statutory sanction, it served as a handy tool for placing curbs on the abuse of the official machinery for campaigning. While ther e have been complaints of excess in the sometimes mindless application of the model code, th e benefits have generally outweighed the costs. After the Election Commission was made a three-member body, its functioning beca me more institutionalised and more transparent with little room for the caprices of an o verbearing personality. The diamond jubilee is also an occasion for the ECI to look at the challenges ah ead, especially those relating to criminalisation of politics and use of money power in elections. Neither of these issues is new. What is clear is that the efforts of the Commission to t ackle them have generally lacked conviction and have not yielded any significant results.

  • A Toolkit for Teachers and Schools 2Nd Edition PREFACE
    GENDER RESPONSIVE PEDAGOGY A TOOLKIT FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOLS 2ND EDITION PREFACE The quality of teaching across all levels of education has a significant impact on academic access, retention and performance of girls and boys in Africa. This includes the systematic professionalization of both teaching and non-teaching roles within education, by improving teacher training and support for teachers. Notably, many teachers in sub-Saharan Africa, conditioned by patriarchal values in their communities, employ teaching methods that are not conducive for equal participation of both girls and boys. Neither do these methods take into account the individual needs of learners, especially girls. Equipping teachers with knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable them to respond adequately to the learning needs of girls and boys through using gen- der-aware classroom processes and practices ultimately improves learning outcomes and enhances gender sensitivity in the delivery of education services. The Forum for African Women Educationalists (FAWE) in 2005 developed the Gender-Responsive Pedagogy (GRP) model to address the quality of teaching in African schools. The GRP model trains teachers to be more gender aware and equips them with the skills to understand and address the specific learning needs of both sexes. It develops teaching practices that engender equal treatment and participation of girls and boys in the classroom and in the wider school community. It advocates for classroom practices that ensure equal par- ticipation of girls and boys, including a classroom environment that encourages both to thrive. Teachers are trained in the design and use of gender-responsive lesson plans, classroom interaction, classroom set-up, language use in the classroom, teaching and learning materials, management of sexual maturation, strategies to eliminate sexual harassment, gender-responsive school management systems, and monitoring and eval- uation.
