Join us for our first EAL Sandbox! The EAL Sandbox is a new Alberta Routes initiative designed to create a welcoming space for educators to connect, collaborate, and explore timely topics related to English as an Additional Language (EAL) programming and instruction. Whether you're looking for practical ideas, seeking solutions to challenges, or hoping to learn from the experiences of colleagues across the province, Alberta Routes’ EAL Sandbox is a place to ask questions, share successes, exchange resources, and build professional learning together.
Join us as we learn from one another in an informal, supportive environment where curiosity and collaboration are encouraged.
Date: October 28, 2026

Topic for October: Curriculum and Lesson Planning
Join colleagues from across Alberta to discuss the differences, benefits, challenges, and practical considerations of curriculum use and lesson planning. Share your experiences, ask questions, gather new ideas, and learn from fellow educators.
How do you plan for your EAL learners?
- Do you create your own lesson plans?
- Do you use kitted curriculum? If so, which ones?
- Do you blend curriculum resources with your own instructional planning?
Come ready to explore, play and grow together in the EAL Sandbox!
