TriState TCI: How can I continue building my CI skills?


TriState TCI is a network for teachers in the Philadelphia TriState area who are exploring the potential of Teaching with Comprehensible Input and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling). We meet monthly throughout the school year, usually on the third Friday of the month. We also have a FaceBook Group (TriState TCI) where we share ideas regularly. Please join us!
