TESTIMONIALS



 * This week’s training is the best I’ve ever attended. I’m still processing
   like crazy, but it’s good processing. As someone ready for deeper
   understanding, this absolutely blew my mind! Exceeds expectations!
   
   TFA Attendee, Long Beach

 * This curriculum is so engaging. My students love that they are using the
   language instead of just memorizing vocabulary and completing conjugation
   charts. They also enjoy all the cultural elements. Thank you!
   
   Sara R.

 * Garbanzo has been an absolute lifesaver for me this year and I think it has
   been so beneficial for my students. I really appreciate this website! 
   
   Megan Wilkey

 * This is one of the best professional development sessions I have attended in
   my 25 years of teaching. Elicia is professional, energetic, fun, smart, and
   cares a great deal about making a difference. She makes everyone feel
   comfortable and want to participate. She is a model teacher who not only
   taught me but inspired me!
   
   District Workshop Participant

 * Somos has been a game changer in my classroom. My students are engaged every
   day and they love the lessons, activities, and games. The curriculum begins
   to build their confidence from Day 1. Everything is complete and ready for
   the teacher! 
   
   The Spanish Saylor

 * THANK YOU for an amazing product. Garbanzo is saving me so much time and my
   students ENJOY what they read! It is so user friendly for the kids and I
   appreciate that you are constantly adding and looking for ways to improve an
   already awesome experience! 
   
   Kristy Placido

 * I loved everything about this presentation. She shared practical hands-on
   activities for the classroom setting. It was very beneficial and I cannot
   wait to implement all this knowledge into my practice!
   
   FLENJ Workshop Attendee

 * I have never been so in love with a Spanish curriculum. Every activity is
   designed well and is comprehensible to students. I love being able to use the
   plans without needing to create my own materials but having the flexibility
   to do so if I want to. Worth every penny!
   
   Christine T.

 * I love Garbanzo, it's one of the best purchases my school has made for me
   ever!! 
   
   Marisa Maldonado

 * Thank you SO much for your contributions to the foreign language teaching
   profession. I have seen both Martina and Elicia at various conferences and
   they are both captivating and engaging presenters.
   
   P. Spinelli

 * Absolutely recommend Garbanzo! The students can progress at their speed but
   it really holds them accountable for the readings. 
   
   Jenna Keller

 * Seeing you in action gave me so much confidence. This year, in the middle of
   remote learning and a pandemic, every single senior I teach says Spanish is
   their favorite class. I truly have the whole Comprehensible Classroom family
   to thank for that.

   PERFORMANCE VS. PROFICIENCY: WHAT LANGUAGE TEACHERS NEED TO KNOW
   
   Sep 24, 2024
   
   Can you measure proficiency in the classroom? In this post, we dive deep into
   the difference between student performance on assessments and their
   real-world language proficiency. Explore actionable strategies to interpret
   student data and align your teaching practices with long-term language
   acquisition goals.


 * FREE CLASS AGENDA SLIDES FOR THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR!
   
   Aug 11, 2024
   
   Administrators and learning coaches often request that teachers post daily
   learning objectives and review week-at-a-glance agendas with their students.
   The reasoning is that posting learning objectives helps students understand
   the purpose of each lesson and what is expected of them. Additionally, it
   brings an awareness to the selection of learning activities and may increase
   the likelihood that classroom activities align with district or national
   standards. Posting daily and weekly plans provide teachers with a level of
   accountability to not waste time off topic, and they can become part of a
   consistent routine that supports engagement and cooperation.
   
   Now, we're not saying whether or not you should post weekly and daily
   objectives--we're just letting you know why you may be asked to do so. Our
   Project Manager  and Vamos co-author Meghan Loveless was asked to post
   learning objectives in an agenda-style set of slides with her students. If
   she had to make it for herself, she wanted to share with other teachers that
   might be in the same position! Especially if you're teaching with The Vamos
   Curriculum this year, you'll love these because they are Vamos-branded!
   
   She created two sets of slides, one that already contains headings in
   Spanish, and another that is fully editable so that you can use it in any
   language.
