We have a new set of 20 videos of different DPS teachers from the 2013 iFLT conference in San Diego. Thank you Diana Noonan! Diana also tells me that we will be getting the 2014 Denver videos as well, in about a month. So these will fatten up our growing collection:

Keep in mind that these classes are with brand new students, usually only superstars around the age of 12 or 13, and so do not represent what most of us are used to. The way Diana and Carol set it up is to have us teach the class only on the first day and then on the second to bring in teachers to observe for the rest of the week. It is very hard to teach such kids in front of teachers on only the second day of being with them. We haven’t normed the class with the rules, they don’t know much about being in a CI class because they are so used to memorizing. I personally found it extremely difficult to get through the week and so for the Denver iFLT this past summer asked Sabrina to teach the French classes – since I was doing the War Rooms as well – and she did a fantastic job so you can look forward to that video when we get it from Diana. Just keep in mind how difficult it is and when you see one of the DPS teachers in these videos tell them thanks for putting themselves out there like that, without our own normed and seasoned classes that we are used to and have worked so hard to train. It’s nerve racking but we have to do it in the spirit of we all suck at this and the only way we are going to get better is more sucky video, more conferences, more discussion, etc. The mantra here on my site is we all suck at this and we do it anyway.
