In this workshop, La Maestra Loca will present how she uses high frequency vocabulary and comprehensible input strategies to develop proficiency and communicative competence in her students. Participants will experience these strategies hands on in a workshop model, feeling first hand what it is like to acquire language like our students do through listening and reading. She will also touch on how she progresses to writing and how students begin to output through speaking. Classroom management, brain breaks, community building, and educational equity will be sprinkled throughout the 8 hours. Join us for a day full of learning, collaboration, and fun! There is a maximum of 60 seats at this event and we are anticipating they'll sell out fast!

A light breakfast will be included. Registration will begin at 7:30 and the workshop will start promptly at 8. We will break for an hour for lunch. You may pay for a deli style lunch (there will be a veggie option) when registering and it will be provided the day of or you can choose to bring your own.
