Hi Friends! I am excited to share not one, but two training opportunities, that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home, in the comfort of your own sweatpants! I’ve got one for you CI people who’ve been teaching for a while and another for you brand new friends who are curious about teaching with Comprehensible Input but aren’t quite sure how to get started.

So long aSTRESSments!

For you seasoned teachers who want to make assessing less stressful!

If there is ONE thing to know about me, it’s that I hate grading with the white hot intensity of a thousand suns. I am not exaggerating. I have spent nearly 20 years figuring out how to make grading less painful for me, less stressful for my Little Darlings and more meaningful for everyone involved…and now it’s all all together in one place with all the rubrics and checklists your heart could desire! If you’re wanting to lighten your load and refresh your approach to assessment, this one’s for you! And your school might even count it as Professional Development!

So long aSTRESSments, recorded training

CI Essentials: Engaging language learners through Comprehensible Input

A four part course for people who are curious about CI or just getting started on your CI journey

For a long time I’ve gotten emails from teachers along the lines of, “I just learned about Comprehensible Input, how do I get started”? This course is a response to that! In collaboration with PLAN (Professional Language Association of Nevada), I’ll be teaching a 4 part series to help you get the ball rolling with CI. We’ll talk about what it is (and isn’t!), strategies to implement in your classroom and assessments to help your Little Darlings acquire language.

If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, register here! I’d love to have you join us! And if you’re a Nevada teacher, this course is FREE with PLAN membership! Whooo hoooo! FREE!!!

Bonus training opportunity: Summit CI in Oklahoma, Summer 2025

Although this one will not be from the comfort of your own home, (unless you’re Darcy Pippins!) you could still potentially attend from the comfort of your own sweatpants (but I think Oklahoma may be too hot in July for sweatpants, I don’t know, I am no expert.) I’m super delighted to be joining the Summit CI team this summer as a Spotlight Presenter! If you can join us, jump on registration right away, this Early Bird registration price is too good to last long! Online trainings are convenient but there is just something special being with your people at a conference and this one is going to be outstanding!
