Did you know that Australian Science Innovations (ASI) is an Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC) registered charity, and is endorsed by the Australian Taxation Office as an income tax exempt charity (ITEC). ❓ What does that mean? Donations to Australian Science Innovations of AUD$2 and over are tax deductible. After you donate, you will immediately receive an email from us with a tax receipt. 💰 Donations we receive mean a student with financial challenges will not miss out on taking their place in a science extension program or travelling overseas to represent Australia in a Science Olympiad. 👩🎓 They work so hard to be selected and can go so far, we don't want the lack of funds to stop them. 💚 $100 can help a student join the JSO Training Squad, a 9 month program for younger students in regional, remote, and low socioeconomic schools who show promise. Please consider us for your end-of-financial-year donation: https://lnkd.in/gN_S75Mt

Fiona's session A practical approach to staff wellbeing We have learned a lot recently about the importance of wellbeing for staff and students. I would like to consider what works in practice and how our approaches have evolved. I will explore practical ideas to ensure that, as an organisation, our approach to wellbeing is useful, integrated and consistent. I will provide tried and tested ideas that can be adapted to suit your own environment. Danny's session Emergent language and task repetition with lower level learners At lower levels, using focused tasks is an effective way of introducing and exploring new or unfamiliar language. In this workshop, we will look at some communicative activities and the language that might emerge from them. We will then explore how effectively learners used the new language when repeating or doing a similar task later in the course.

At Kenya Community Development Foundation (KCDF) we focus on community development and empowerment. Besides our current Livelihoods, Environment, Advocacy, Policy Influencing, and Capacity-building programs, we offer various education programs and initiatives to support marginalized communities. Here are some common types of education programs that organizations could explore: 1.     Scholarships and Bursaries: KCDF offers scholarships or bursaries to financially disadvantaged students. These programs aim to ensure that deserving students have access to quality education. 2.     Early Childhood Education: KCDF supports early childhood education centers, ensuring that young children receive a solid foundation for their future learning. 3.     Adult Literacy Programs: These programs target adults who didn’t have the opportunity to attend school. They focus on basic literacy skills, numeracy, and life skills. While we have taken a Livelihoods approach at KCDF, this is an area to explore 4.     Vocational Training: KCDF provides vocational training support to equip youth and adults with practical skills. These skills lead to employment or self-employment opportunities. 5.     Community Libraries and Learning Centers: KCDF has supported the establishment of public schools, community libraries or learning centers where people can access educational resources, books, and technology. 6.     Mentorship and Coaching: KCDF partners with community role models and corporate leaders to deliver quality mentorship and coaching. Highlight of key topics: Gender, Values for Greatness, Responsible Sexuality, Career Development,, Building Character, Servant Leadership, Positive Patriotism, Self-Confidence, Conflict Resolution, and Community Service & Volunteerism 7.     Health Education: Sometimes, NGOs integrate health education into their programs. This has helped us with efficiency and value for money. This includes raising awareness about hygiene, nutrition, and disease prevention. 8.     Parental engagement: Perhaps the most important aspect if you are programming around education. Anchor quality and sustainability on communities and parents. Remember that the specific programs offered by KCDF vary and are co-created to fit the context and to retain power at the community level. Thank you, Chandaria Foundation, for enabling KCDF and ultimately deserving learners. 

Teachers spend too much money out of pocket on school supplies. When we first surveyed teachers in 2015, they reported that they spent $600 on average on their classrooms. That number is up to $860 as of 2023. It’s not okay. For more than a decade, ACE Cash Express has helped teachers spend less money out of pocket, raising more than $600,000 to help teachers in their communities access the supplies they need. This May, they are raising funds for teachers at 216 ACE locations nationwide as part of their annual in-store Give A Little Campaign. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g7a9wmiV
