MIKE PETO SAYS: “I’m incorporating the Star into my routine. You don’t need to hear this from me, but you’re among the best, ever. Teachers of a certain generation know this. I really hope some of the younger teachers experience what you have to communicate. During my last workshop, in Virginia, I was in the middle of the OWI part of the session and an older, grumpy-looking teacher mumbled to himself: ‘This is good teaching!’.”

This training is for teachers who not only want to make CI work for them mechanically, but on many other deeper levels as well:
- Mastery of the OWI skills.
- Mastery of the Communication Standard.
- Actual professional fulfillment.
- Learning to genuinely appreciate how creative and funny your students really are.
- Having your students police their own classroom because they really want to learn the language you are teaching them.
- Teaching in equitable ways that prevents them from feeling excluded from the rest of the classroom community.
- Bringing all of them into a place of genuine self-esteem by how you are teaching them.
- Just being happy about your job and not allowing it to take over your life. That is to say, not allowing your job to become a daily, pressure-filled, burdensome experience that makes you want to quit the profession.
- Freeing up time from planning and testing in a way that you never thought possible.
- Learning secret things about language teaching that can’t even be put into words.
