Hi, blog friends! I’m excited to announce that I’m partnering with Klett World Languages and NNELL to present “Maintaining Momentum in World Language Classes” on September 9th, 2025, at 6:30pm EST (3:30pm PST). Register for my webinar here, and then check out the list of all the other great webinars that Klett has going on!
In this webinar, participants will learn how to plan for and teach classes that leave both students and the teacher wondering, “Wait! It’s already over?”
Participants will optimize the amount of “flow” in their class periods by clarifying and explicitly stating “to-do” expectations, allowing class periods to quickly snap between high-yield activities that absorb student attention. Students will make progress towards their goals with confidence and support.
Participants will also learn how to apply questioning strategies that can increase student attention and thinking ratio, preventing them from “tuning out” of class content. Teachers will have a questioning toolbox that they can deploy with confidence and ease.
Finally, participants will learn and share activities that allow for students to see each other as fellow humans and connect across differences. This includes activities that specifically personalize content to students’ lives, and brain breaks for the purpose of energizing or focusing.
Participants are invited to join and reflect on how to build and maintain momentum in the world language classes that power an entire school year of learning and fun!
Hope to see you there. 🙂
