I think there are a few things we can do:
1) Focus on targeting student teachers and spend less time trying to convince the dinosaurs. I recently made a tweet that all student teachers should go free to conferences and workshops. I am willing (and have done that) to do that in my trainings. If we get a student teacher before they enter the system we can change the course of language teaching. https://twitter.com/SchwabSpanish/status/1145751857148694528
2) All CI teachers should teach demo workshops to their administration, guidance, counselors, and deans. Just organize it, and don’t let your hater colleagues know it is even happening.
I am really surprised that at NTPRS not one presenter talked about Card Talk, Calendar Talk, Write and Discuss, or One Word Image.
To me, those are more manageable (especially Card Talk and Calendar Talk) for getting started with CI rather than the stories which are supposed to last for 3 class periods with the super weird details and the making the student actor respond in a complete sentence.
