Alicia Eberle Bio

Alicia Eberle has been a part of the Boston Public Schools community for over ten years.  She originally began her career as an English as a Second Language teacher (ESL), working with middle and high school students.  She taught all levels of language, from newcomers to level 4.  In the evenings, Alicia taught ESL to adults in the evenings to residents of the city of Boston.  In addition, she worked with BPS and the department of education to offer an online course to Boston Public schools teachers who wanted the endorsement to teach language learners in their content classes.   As a teacher, Alicia was fortunate to be the recipient of two Pat Cooke Fund scholarships, in 2022 and 2023.  

As a result of the scholarships and learning, Alicia was able to make global connections in the classroom for students, and had the opportunity to work on a sustainability project with another class in Mexico.  Students worked on the same projects and had the opportunity to meet virtually once per month to share their projects and experiences.   Moreover, the Fund helped to introduce sustainability to all levels of English classes, both in high school and adult ed.  

 

Today, Alicia is the Assistant Head of School at Boston Arts Academy, where she invited the Pat Cooke Fund to a new group of inspired educators.  Alicia eagerly awaits connecting the educators of BAA with Pat Cooke to explore how arts, sustainability and teaching and learning can intersect.
