Thank you for this! At my school I have been working diligently to get my entire dept CI, and it had been three years in the making. We had a good principal who hired ask the teachers my dept. But sadly this last year he left and we got a new admin who doesn’t know us or anything about CI. He is a 4%er for sure. We had a meeting with him at the beginning of the year and it didn’t go well. We all went to COFLT and sat in on all the CI sessions we could and I made my dept go to the Krashen/Mason panel. Things are great now (in classes) we are moving to all CI even our college credit courses. I talked to my admin again to try to reach out to him. I brought some research from dr Mason but he seemed totally disinterested. Then proceeded to ask me how our students compare to others on STANDARDIZED TESTS OR AP!!! He said he would need to see it “I guess”
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! The panel helped you! I am so happy to hear that! I am beside myself that that conference helped even one person! Yay COFLT! 😀 You know I was set to resign but I decided not to and here is why – If we do not put on these events, the “official” arm of ACTFL, the Big Guns, if all we do is put on things like Comprehensible Cascadia (the more “come unfurl your freak flag” event), the adminz will not attend. YES Russ, you have energized me. I can deal with the Board members who do not like me – judge and belittle me, as a person, yes – I can deal with it if it helps adminz see the light. Wow, Russ, you have NO IDEA. Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you for attending. And thank you for working so diligently and passionately there in your beautiful hipster hamlet. I wish I could come see you again. Maybe next Mom’s weekend. I will never forget looking at Ben’s book in your classroom and thinking about how so few eyes had seen it, how I hoped that people would eventually read it and use it and love it like we did. And, you know, it is happening!
