The school will receive support in language assessment, making an initial diagnosis to mobilize the students' communicative skills from the ground up, and will have 3 evaluations during the year.
From kindergarten through 8th grade, children and young people from the Isla Tenglo School -located on the island in front of the city of Puerto Montt- will have the opportunity to improve their English language skills thanks to an alliance between Fundación Educacional Oportunidad, through its We Learn program, and Fundación Isla Tenglo.
During the year 2021, the school received advice and support that in 2022 was formalized in an alliance that will allow the school to have a plan that will consider the internal processes of the school in order to make a meaningful accompaniment and according to the goals they are seeking for their students. To this end, the educational teams and directors will be provided with the necessary tools to support them in improving their English and to work in a network with the rest of the schools belonging to the program.
For the implementation in the first year of We Learn on Tenglo Island, support will be provided in the evaluation of the English language, making an initial diagnosis, to mobilize from the base the communicative skills of the students, following up on the application of improvement agreements with 3 evaluations during the year.
Cristina Ramos, coordinator of the We Learn program, explained that "during this first year, the school will be accompanied in various instances, planned exclusively for its reality". She added that "the classroom visit will measure the time of interactions and use of the language in the English class, an input that will be used to reflect with the teacher to find areas for improvement in their practice, as well as to lay the groundwork for future comparisons".
He also pointed out that "the entire school improvement team will be accompanied in workshops with experts from the foundation's Continuous Improvement area and the Assistance program, on fundamental topics for the improvement of English".
For her part, the school's principal, Karen Oria, added that "for our community it means that, in the first place, we can have an innovative, high-impact methodology. This initiative is in line with our work that seeks to provide tools that allow students to have the skills required to perform successfully in the 21st century".
"In conclusion, it is a tremendous learning opportunity for our students, in the first instance, and also for the community in general," concluded the director.
