We tossed around some ideas and came back to the tried and true – dictée, more quick quizzes, translating stories from TL into English, OWI, ….. and the realization that there is always next year to start fresh again.
Very interesting to hear how you come back to the tried and true as you say here.
The tried and true things we do are our base. We rely on them. They make us successful. A lot of “new” ideas are really just variations on them. They are found in the Big Ideas list. No matter how creative we get, we are just going to be doing variations on the Three Steps of establishing meaning and PQA, some kind of narrative/story, and then finishing with a reading:

Yes, unfortunately I couldn’t make it. But, if there is a next time I will be there. Especially if it’s after I get back from the iFLT. It would be great to share out some of the things learned from the conference.

You did such a beautiful job planning our first meeting, Carly.
It was a perfect afternoon, seated in a lovely beer garden, talking shop, sharing a little bit about our lives, how we’d come to TCI, and wondering which one of us had actually met Ben Slavic in person.
I will not forget so soon Carly’s dedication to classes of 36 high school students piled up to the ceiling. The head of school told her she must be doing something right, at least her students stay seated! Brigitte helped us figure out bail out moves to finish the year, how not to be intimidated by national contests, and managing blasé teenagers. We could clearly see in her blue eyes the depth of her knowledge and experience. Rachel came all the way from Connecticut, and asked one excellent question after the other, keeping us on track. And then Monsieur Greg, this elegant poised young man, just back from France, and without catching his breath, ready to take over a maternity leave.
We all agreed though Ben, that none of this would be possible without your brilliance. And Carly promised to bring us back extensive notes from the war room. To be continued.
Catharina and other New Yorkinos,
I am trying to hook up a K-12 school’s faculty with a T/CI group that meets regularly. Is there such a beast on the east coast? If so, who’s in charge and how can I get them in contact with the goings on?
Pls send email addresses to my email:
