The Self-Paced Course

​After the introductory module on pronunciation, welcoming and introductions, participants will have the ability to choose which pathways they choose at which time. While one teacher may want to learn how to praise a student to their family, another may want to start with greetings. All modules are available for all to begin or review in the order they choose.

+ Live Practice Add-On

If the self-paced course seems to be the best fit for your district, but you still want personal support, you can add on live practice sessions. These are 2-4 sessions over the course of one school year that are opportunities for staff to practice what they have learned so far with realtime coaching and support. 

The Live Course

While all the topics above are "on the menu", live courses are limited to 6 weeks at a time. Booking one 6-week course, our team will work with you to determine the four most important topics. If you wish to cover all topics via a live option, we recommend pre-scheduling three 6-week courses with breaks in between. Each week of this course includes a "challenge" for participants to apply their learning on the job. Those who provide evidence of completion are recognized for their dedication and courage. (Yes, it takes courage to use a new language, and we love it when our students do it!)
