A great resource...

My favorite way to learn more about the TPRS method is to spend time reading the moreTPRS yahoo group list. I always take away a new idea that I can use in the classroom. It has been an excellent place to get all of my questions answered quickly. Blaine Ray and other experts actively participate on the list and are willing to help anyone with questions. If you haven't already taken the time to sign up for this group, be sure to do so soon! It will be a huge help. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/moretprs/

A journey to Columbus

Last week we traveled to Columbus to attend the Blaine Ray workshop. There were 45 teachers in attendance. Blaine is a wonderful TPRS teacher. He has so much enthusiasm for what he's doing. I only hope that I can convey half of that to my students this coming year. I think I even learned some German during those two days! I'll post more later when there is more time!

A new vision

I started a new journey in my classroom during fourth quarter this year. I am very excited to study and implement a full TPRS program into my Spanish classes next year. The level of enthusiasm and participation I've seen from my students has pushed me to continue on this path. I'm looking forward to a summer of research and preparation for a new year!
