When a CI classroom gets too comfortable, strong community can quietly slide into chaos—and managing chill without losing control is a skill every language teacher needs.

Take the CI Proficiency Quiz to see where you land and assess your comprehension-based teaching at https://imim.us/ciquiz.

In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we unpack how to reset expectations, hold boundaries, and lead with warmth and authority—without becoming the fun police or killing classroom morale.

Need ready-to-use CI lessons, routines, and systems that support structure and joy? Check out the CI Survival Kit at https://imim.us/kit.
