Let’s keep in touch!

I love working with departments. Nowadays I am doing all trainings virtually due to COVID. To learn more about scheduling professional development, please contact customersupport@ciliftoff.com.

CI Liftoff School – Books, materials, online coaching groups, and video trainings from me and some of the many talented friends I have met in my teaching journey

CI Liftoff Facebook group:  Join a growing community of over 10,000 positive, supportive, nonjudgemental, growth-oriented educators interested in moving our instruction towards Massive Student Proficiency, each in our own way.  

This is my happy spot on the internet and I’d love to add YOU!

Summer Institutes

Our Summer Institutes are, quite simply, the most comprehensive world language teacher training ever developed.  Trust me;  I have been in this work for a long time.  I had to build the training I had always dreamed of.  Lucky you — you don’t have to wait!
