Actionable strategies rooted in proficiency that SAVE you stress instead of adding to your plate.

You need solutions.
What you really want is to...

#1 See what all the fuss is about CI anyway

#2 See how real teachers are adjusting for COVID protocols

#3 Learn how to transition to proficiency without midnight grading

#4 Achieve a culturally responsive, anti-bias, decolonized curriculum without starting from scratch

#5 Leave this conference with your next week FULLY planned with ready-to-go lessons rooted in proficiency
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Your energy is too important for outdated practice.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'RE...

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 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.

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, the one where the parent interrupted your hybrid in-person class by starting the blender in the background of the zoom call, and then apologized in their PJs.
Each class is short and highly specific, and designed to take you from complete proficiency newbie to virtual CI all-star. You'll end with a FULL week of inclusive, culturally responsive, and proficiency centered lessons mapped out by the end of your conference experience.
