KIND WORDS FROM TEACHERS ABOUT P&C

"Everything about this conference was amazing.

The ability to do sessions based on my crazy schedule. Hearing from other WoLang teachers. Strategies and challenges specific to world language. Engaging in conversations with WoLang teachers from all over."

- Danielle, 2023 attendee

"The majority of the presentations delivered exactly what the conference promised:

PRACTICAL ways to improve my CI practice.

I came out with more ideas than I can possibly implement!"

-Mike

"This is my 3rd year using CI and I think the conference reinforced the things I am doing well (passwords, speed dating, TPR novels..), let me know I am not alone in the many hours of prep work (for the multiple preps) and gave me some ideas to help with that and gave me some new ideas to up my game."

- Bev

"I found a lot of easy to implement ideas that I can do this week but I also got a lot of food for thought as I start working on curriculum changes for next year."

- Shanda

"It's right in the name. I love that the ideas shared are practical. I also like that there are a variety of languages represented. "

- Jennifer

"The presentations were very applicable for teaching novice learners, and most presenters gave concrete ideas to implement, especially for those of us who are tied to a textbook (because of school/district) but want to move the needle towards more proficiency.
The presentation about Chromebook shortcuts was brilliant! Thank you for including practical tools like these also."

-Tonantzin
