• K-2 ESOL Teacher

  • Aug 2017 - Jun 2018

  I taught K-2 ESOL at Rochester International Academy, a K-12 public school for refugee students in Rochester, NY. I designed my classes using a content-based approach in which we spent one to three weeks on each content based unit. The content included grade appropriate science (animal habitats, plant growth, severe weather, etc.), social studies (communities, transportation over time, cooking around the world, etc.), stories (Chicken Little, Fables, etc.), and current events (the Winter Olympics, Chinese New Year, etc.). Within each unit, I defined content goals, language goals (including phonics and reading), and a project goal. The students worked extensively in groups to complete a variety of multimodal unit projects, such as a habitat brochure (which they presented "poster style" to classmates), a desert book and diorama, a severe weather safety poster (which they presented to other classes and displayed in the halls), a recorded weather forecast, a class cooking demonstration day, a class play, and a puppet show.
