I attended a workshop on inquiry learning today.  It was difficult to think of a question that matched EAL langauge goals, curriculum outcomes AND interlace the idea of cultural responsiveness.  My fabulous teacher librarian, Tamzen Kulyk, helped me flush out my original question:

 

”To what extent do the many diverse cultures within our school enhance our cultural responsiveness?”

 

to a kid and EAL student friendly version:

 

"How are my values and beliefs similar to others?"

&

"How does sharing my experience as a newcomer help create a sense of community within a school?"

 

I am looking forward to guiding the students to wardexploring these questions and sharing their learning through technology.
