CI When Required to Use a Textbook with Ashley Mikkelsen
#192How much flexibility or autonomy do you have over your curriculum? Are you able to integrate CI techniques and procedures? This can be a bit challenging if our curriculum is aligned with chapters in a textbook or prescribed units. Today I speak with Ashley Mikkelsen, a Spanish teacher in North Dakota. Ashley talks us through her personal journey and experience integrating CI activities into her textbook-aligned curriculum that also includes common assessments. And these assessments are not always proficiency-based. Is this possible? Ashley shows us how with her quintessential realistic lens. Topics in this Episode:Challenges teachers face when trying to incorporate Comprehensible Input (CI) within a textbook-driven curriculumstrategies and techniques for blending CI with the requirements of a textbook curriculumspecific examples of successfully integrating CI into a textbook lessonhow teachers can make sure that their use of CI aligns with the learning objectives and assessments outlined in the textbookrecommendations for teachers who are new to CI but are required to follow a textbook curriculumEp 86: Lots of Activities for Any Reading with Ashley MikkelsenConnect with Ashley Mikkelsen:Instagram: @srta_spanishTikTok: @srta_spanishX/Twitter:@afulks2013Website: srtaspanish.comConnect with Joshua and the World Language Classroom Community: wlclassrom.comX (aka Twitter): @wlclassroomThreads: @wlclassroomInstagram: @wlclassroomFacebook: /wlclassroomWLClassroom Facebook Group__________________________Interested in having Joshua work directly with your department, school or district?

Using Podcast Episodes as Departmental PD with Andrea Caulfield
#190A few weeks back I posted on LinkIn and Andrea Caulfield left a comment. Andrea is the World Language Curriculum Specialist in Denver Public Schools. She commented that she uses podcast episodes as a way of bringing professional development and coaching to the 100+ teachers in her district. I was intrigued to learn more about how she managed this logistically and wanted you to hear it as well in case you are interested in doing something similar. Andrea explains how she chooses and recommends episodes, works with teachers to engage with the topics and, of course, the logistics.Topics in this Episode:why Andrea started using podcast episodes as professional development in her language departmenthow she structure discussions and activities around podcast episodes to ensure meaningful professional growth for teachersspecific benefits Andrea has seen in her department since incorporating podcasts into her PD modelchoosing which podcast episodes to useadvice for language department leaders who want to implement podcast-based professional development but aren’t sure where to startAndrea's podcast episode database.Andrea's reflection questions:What confirmed or challenged your beliefs in the episode(s) you listened to?What were your biggest takeaways?What is one change you are committed to making in your own practice based on your learning, and what steps do you need to take to make that change?What barriers to successful implementation do you foresee?

Project That Engages Students in Story Details
#189We are all well aware of the importance of comprehensible input in our classrooms, and to support this many of us use stories as the way to do it. Do you use short stories, novels or graphic novels or comprehensible (CI) readers with your students? I’m excited to see that many teachers are using and leveraging texts with their students. I want to take this a step further in this episode and tell you about a project that engages students creatively with story details and newly acquired vocabulary and structures. Blog post about the "unpack the book" project with examples and templates.Topics in this Episode:the "unpack the book" projectpreparing to readkeep track of details while readingcharacterschapter summarieshashtagsthe project book pagescovervocabularyhashtagscharacterseventsquotescultureBlog post about the "unpack the book" project with examples and templates.
