that is wonderful that your “powers-that-be” are so enlightened!!! Congratulations Bob!!!
This is huge! When a school district that big gets on board, things are going to start moving.
A smaller school district but one in the north of Chicago – Winnetka Public Schools – has just switched their K-8 world language teachers all to teaching with TPRS/CI. They did a lot of research and found this really worked to develop fluency for the vast majority of children. Helena Curtain personally scolded the chair for making that change – they had known each other for years.
Anyway, I was thrilled for their decision. The high school isn’t there yet, but as they explained, they aren’t waiting around for that. They do think that it will be a surprise to the high school once they get kids with multiple years of CI instruction. They will be different.
All those incoming freshmen will start ruining those high school pre-tests.

Diane,
You make one of the most important points of all: CI works “for the vast majority”. Why would anyone want anything different? Euge! (Yippee!).
Bob, this is great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
This is such wonderful news!! It is so positive to hear and it gives hope to those who are struggling for acceptance in their present position. THANK YOU for all that you do and for sharing this with us!
with love,
Laurie
It was great to see you Bob! Gwinnett really has it together.
