Marci Adams (@senora_adams), a Spanish teacher at Howell High School, joins the show to discuss how she made a huge pedagogical shift in her classroom and how it has produced incredible impacts on student growth. We talk about "Comprehensible Input", classroom design, our thoughts on homework, how we should grade our students, and the importance of relationships. Marci also shares her movie trailer project, which one student called, "The most fun I've ever had in a Spanish class!"
