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.

Join our learning journey as we explore the use of technology and inquiry in our EAL classrooms.
