On Wednesday, November 18, we (Galit Yona and Kinneret Lotem Yamhod) visited the Ecological School in Yavne.
We observed a unique and inspiring special-education English lesson in the third grade, taught by Ms. Katia Ben-Yehuda. Her warm, caring approach and effective integration of SEL were clearly evident. We were highly impressed by the level and engagement of the third-grade students.
Afterwards, we met with the principal, Ms. Shosh Gofstein, who spoke with us about the school, its history and its distinct ecological qualities. We were pleased to learn that the school received a prestigious innovation award last year.
We toured the campus and saw the hydroponic garden, the beautiful grounds, and the agricultural and field-study programs in which the students participate. We also visited the library and were thrilled to see English books
We also met with the English coordinator, Ms. Oshrat Cohen, who shared further insights about the school and its unique strengths.
Following our visit and our meetings with the principal and staff, the principal told us of her plan to have an English hall with “talking walls“. We suggested that the school integrate aspects of ecology, agricultural studies, and fieldwork into English-language learning. The principal and staff expressed interest and asked to keep us updated.
