Done!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be at NTPRS, while you will be in lovely Agen!! Hope to be there in 2016 and to see you sooner than that!!

Laurie
Thank you, Laurie, for including us in your impressive list. Just a slight inversion. Sabrina’s immersion experience for French teachers is July 23rd-July 25th. The TPRS workshop for language teachers is July 27th-August 1st.
I’ll fix that Judy!! Thank you!
with love,
Laurie
All fixed!!!!
Laurie, Thanks so much for the plug for the OFLA conference. We have so many really good CI/TPRS sessions and workshops. And Ohio has such a great support for innovative teaching from our reps at ODE. It’s a great place to teach and work. Note that our website is http://ofla.memberlodge.org. Can’t wait to see my CI family here, there and everywhere.
Thank you for this. Is there any updated information on workshops this fall?
I will be doing workshops for the North Shore school district on Long Island, but I do not have the dates yet! I’ll put a call out to others and see what they are doing!!
All of the fall workshops that I know of are now up…but I’ll keep my eyes open and add more as I find out about them!!
Laurie
