The end of February marks a different time of year for myself and my students. By this time, the traditional TPRS and overall "enchantment" of school has worn off. The kids are burnt out. I am burnt out. It is tough to continue our pace and enthusiasm. Thus, this time of year I find myself needing some reminding of the power of CI.
In my graduate class (LAST ONE!!!!) I have to facilitate a session to teach other teachers how to do what I do tonight. While looking for some videos of student retells (which, bummer, I couldn't find), I stumbled upon Carol Gabb teaching ESL to her baseball guys. I was instantly reminded of the power of what we do, and the possibilities to create real and lasting change in peoples' lives with CI and languages.
If you're needing a reminder of the possibilities and power of what we do, check it out. And, thanks Carol, you've really inspired me!
