  • Multilingual Learners Math Learning Site
    Multilingual Learners Secondary Math Learning Site: If you or an educator you know is looking to see grade level math curricula in an SEI classroom, this is an opportunity to join other educators for a day in a live classroom around a common area of practice. This learning site on 3/27 places the question of “How do we provide access to rigorous math learning experiences for our multilingual learners?” within the context of a Math 3 SEI classroom. Come see a high school math class, led by Karina Halloran (English High School), where students are engaging in complex tasks and making sense of mathematics. After the classroom visit, educators will reflect, synthesize the impact for learning, and pose questions for a debrief with the host teacher. Participants will then use the hows and whys of the host teacher’s practice to implement a change idea in their own practice. The follow up coaching sessions are designed for collaborative feedback from the group of participants. ALC/PDPs are available.

    Calling all grades 6-12 teachers! The Stone Living Lab and National Parks of Boston are hosting our third summer teacher professional development course bringing together place-based learning and climate change education. Participating Boston-area teachers will explore sites of Boston through the lens of climate change and participatory coastal science, and will develop a place-based experience for implementation in the 2025/2026 academic year

    By the end of this course, teachers will have greater comfort and capacity to bring their students out of the classroom for meaningful and relevant learning experiences, as well as the knowledge, tools and confidence to integrate partners’ resources and expertise into their teaching and learning. The week-long PD also serves as an opportunity for teachers to build relationships with researchers and educators to develop robust learning experiences that better serve the needs of and address the challenges faced by Boston area teachers.

    This course is for any in-classroom educator aiming to incorporate place-based climate change learning and discussion into their classroom. Participants across different disciplines, including History, Language, Art, STEM, and teacher teams are encouraged to apply!
