Proficiency isn't a fad - it's the solution.
It's time to transform your class into the community that you and your students both want!
Here's what other teachers are saying!
You've had the hardest year yet.
Your energy is too important for outdated practice.
Get a classroom you're proud of, no midnight grading required.
MAYBE YOU...
Can never leave your work at work - you always feel like there's more to do and more to learn.
You feel like you'll never catch up - the work just piles up and you're never sure if you're working on the right things.
You know proficiency must be important, but you have little support at school to make it happen. Who has time for that in a year like this?
It's time to take proficiency off the back burner and see what's possible
simple, actionable lessons you can use tomorrow

MEET YOUR HOST -
Devon Gunning
Hi! I'm a curriculum designer, consultant, and instructional coach for proficiency-style world language teachers.
My specialties are social justice infused curriculum, teacher self care, Francophone culture, and novice low-mid CI resources. In my program Practical Proficiency, I help teachers transition from legacy methods to CI/Proficiency and still leave work on time.
I created this summit for busy, like-minded teachers to start using CI as a way to streamline your classroom instead of adding to your workload.

What Makes Practical and Comprehensible So Different?
This is a very different virtual conference experience than what you're used to. Instead of a disconnected series of lectures, this is a community-oriented virtual event with interviews, Q&As, teacher community, and a learning goal that keeps us focused through the event.
We're bound and determined to make the FOUNDATIONS aka the stuff we can't live without in our classroom practice to stick for you this year.
Every single presenter was hand-selected by me because of their shared conviction that proficiency is the only way to reach every student in your room, keep your teacher sanity and joy, and get your students amazing acquisition results in the classroom.
Mission: The conference has grown to be a much larger mission than my first scratches in my teacher planner a few years ago, but the purpose is the same:
Make proficiency through CI sustainable by connecting teachers with talented teacher presenters who unlock the joy, inclusivity + rejuvenation that proficiency brings to both students and teachers.
All through practical ideas that teachers can use tomorrow.
We're here to make CI the norm through the power of community and practical ideas - you in?
Not Your Average Teacher PD
This is PD run for teachers, by teachers. We know you don't have time for a frankenstein mess of perfect world lesson plans that take hours to put together and you can only use once.
You need strategies that will work tomorrow for your very real class. Each class is highly specific, and designed to teach you real strategies from CI veteran teachers rather than one and done activities.
You'll end with a FOUNDATION and routine base to make sure that Proficiency rooted in the magic of CI finally sticks this year, with less work from you and more results for your students.
