EAL, Chinese Educators, Occupy Middle School Collaboration

Occupy Middle School and ISB EAL is proudly working towards a professional collaboration with the Center for Applied Linguistics and Jose Medina. In the OMS / EAL lab classroom, a new curricular framework is being researched and developed around a interconnected framework of Sustainable Development Goals, MYP Global Contexts, SIOP framed content and language objectives, and WIDA literacy rubrics. Our OMS/ISB EAL/CAL collaborative goal is rooted in empowering diverse student populations via global citizenship, multilingualism, multiculturalism, authentic literacy, and real-world publications. http://www.occupymiddleschool.com/eal-empowerment/

In this video, as they prepare to co-teach the lesson, Chinese teachers Sherry, Fanny, and Elfie discuss plans in the Grade 8 EAL classroom, working with lesson objectives within the innovative planning framework.
