Classroom management for CI teachers is the part no workshop covers - in this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we get into the procedures, routines, and room setup that make comprehensible input possible in the first place.
You'll hear which small logistical failures quietly wreck an entire period, the classroom procedures experienced teachers wish they'd known on day one, and how to build routines that serve acquisition instead of competing with it.
CI professional development will spend an hour on input and never once mention where thirty phones go. This week Pamela Parks and I are joined by guest host Stephanie Carbonneau, a middle school French teacher in York, Maine with 28 years of acquisition-driven instruction in a classroom without desks, which demands a level of procedural clarity most of us have never attempted. Pamela worked as a professional translator before moving into world language teaching, so she understands what a broken system actually costs. We talk about the gap in CI training, the classroom management problems teachers end up solving alone, and the one boring system each of us is tightening before students walk in this year.
