Our middle school curriculum is centered around teaching our students how to take control of their own learning. We focus on teaching students to ask the right questions and be confident searching for answers. By developing ‘Critical Skills’ in our students we prepare them for their journey as learners for the rest of their lives.

At Green School, our High School curriculum includes everything we do both in and outside of the classroom. Our perspective on education, reflected in our curriculum, is that we are not filling a bucket, but rather lighting a fire. We cannot possibly teach everything that there is to be learned. Thus, we endeavor to teach students to “learn how to learn” by giving them the skills to do so. Most importantly, we aim to instill in our students a love learning as a passionate pursuit in and of itself.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Middle school Curriculum

2. INTRODUCTION
Our middle school curriculum is centered around teaching our students how to take control of their
own learning. We focus on teaching students to ask the right questions and be confident searching for
answers. By developing ‘Critical Skills’ in our students we prepare them for their journey as learners for
the rest of their lives. This document explains how we plan student learning opportunities (our pedagogy)
and the environment within which learning takes place.
Students are welcomed
into an environment that
is engaging, challenging,
inspiring, and nurturing.
Learning experiences
are created that foster
inspiration, promote the
development of a core
set of academic skills
and learning habits, and
that encourage students
to ask questions, explore
and identify their core
values and passions.
More than preparing students for high school, our middle school program focuses on a whole child
approach that supports the special needs of middle years students. Students are engaged in learning
and community life, challenged intellectually and academically, and supported by passionate, nurturing,
and inspired adults.
Our curriculum is strongly rooted in internationally recognized learning outcomes, and we use these
outcomes to drive our instruction. Traditional timetables have been replaced by a more fluid schedule
to meet the needs of the students and the themes being studied. Our thematic instruction is supported by
a strong arts program that includes visual and performing arts, and the collaboration helps to provide
students with rich experiential learning opportunities that are thematic across the curriculum,
inquiry-based, and designed to fully engage the multitude of intelligences and learning styles. Learning
outcomes include relevant projects and presentations that meet real needs in the local and/or global
community, and can be shared with authentic audiences in school, community-wide, and beyond.

3. 2 | GREEN SCHOOL CURRICULUM OVERVIEW - MIDDLE SCHOOL
The middle school runs on a six-week block system. Students choose or are assigned to appropriate classes
in the Experiential and Proficiency frames and are grouped according to interest and learning needs
across grade levels. Students focus on one topic and rotate through different lens of one week each
during the thematic units in their grade classes.
THREE-FRAMES OF LEARNING
Green School’s overall pedagogy utilizes three-frames of learning to give our students a well-rounded
and comprehensive learning environment:
1. Experiential Frame
2. Proficiency Frame
3. Thematic Frame
EXPERIENTAL FRAME
Our experiential frame includes physical and artistic endeavors and gets our students kinesthetically
engaged with their learning. With an emphasis on student choice, these courses are meant to give
students the time and space to dive deep into a concept.
Physical Electives
Students are given choices between physical activity courses that will run in six-week blocks.
Possible activities include:
• Team sports • Green Studies projects
• Cross-Country running • Mepantigan (Balinese martial arts)
• Yoga • Hiking
• Dance • Biking
Art Electives
Students are given choices between artistic courses that will run in six-week blocks.
Possible activities include:
• Drama • Music
• Visual Arts • Green Studies projects
• Practical Arts • Balinese crafts

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
4. 3 | GREEN SCHOOL CURRICULUM OVERVIEW - MIDDLE SCHOOL
PROFICIENCY FRAME
These lessons focus on building the core skills needed in literacy and maths. Students are mixed
between the grade levels and put into groups allowing them to focus on particular needs and interests.
Literacy Electives
These classes use many different ‘lenses’ to develop reading, writing, and critical thinking skills,
while developing literacy, expression, and awareness using the Australian English Curriculum
learning outcomes as guideposts. Students elect these leveled courses. When needed, students
are be guided into the appropriate class.
These course will be dynamic mixes of topics, including; literature, global issues, history, science,
geography, and current events.
Each day will allow time for students to read, write, and critically analyze their work and the work
of their peers.
Math
The Middle School Mathematics program at Green School is an innovative, student- centered
model. The curriculum is based on the Singapore Mathematics Learning Outcomes – from which,
a scope and sequence has been designed to fit with Green School’s unique vision, mission and ed-
ucational philosophy. The majority of the course units are delivered in Concept Groups where
students are assessed at the beginning of each topic and then placed accordingly
in groups with students of similar learning requirements. Formal Assessment is based on an
individual’s learning throughout the unit by comparing pre-and post-assessment data.
5. 4 | GREEN SCHOOL CURRICULUM OVERVIEW - MIDDLE SCHOOL
THEMATIC FRAME
Six-week topics will act as an umbrella for one
week mini-units focused on a particular subject
area. These subject areas include; Literacy (En-
glish), Indonesian and Balinese Culture, Envi-
ronmental science, physics and math, and Global
Awareness. Teachers will rotate through the class-
es so that each class gets the unique perspective
brought by each teacher.
These units will focus on inquiry based learning and
will strive to get the students asking ‘Big Questions’
and becoming adept and searching for and postulat-
ing answers while fostering the critical skills.
The ‘Big Four’ of intellectual, kinesthetic, artistic,
and interpersonal learning come in to play in these
lessons.
JALAN JALAN
This program is designed to help us link learning to life outside of school. The courses give students
valuable life experience by connecting them to local and global communities, and engaging them with
peoples and important environmental and human causes both far and near.
Students choose courses from three areas: service learning, enterprise education, and outdoor education.
Courses run for a full term and through the course of the year students will participate in at least one
course from each area.
All of the courses aim to foster personal growth and strong connections to other individuals, while
developing the critical life skills of collaboration, communication, organisation, management, problem
solving, and critical/creative thinking.
