Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling (TPRS) is a language learning method that centers listening to, reading, writing, telling, and retelling stories, with the guidance of a teacher.

 

This training will introduce you to the core techniques and give you an opportunity to participate in interactive storytelling firsthand. Walk away with practical tools to make language learning more engaging, effective, and fun. Come ready to participate and reimagine how you teach English!

Teacher Solidarity Study Group

Date: Wednesday, May 27, 2026
Time: 5:30 - 7 pm (CST)
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Price: Free for members; $15 for non-members
Facilitator: Jane Rothschild

How does this moment of turbulent social change relate to us, as educators? In our Teacher Solidarity Study Group, we learn and reflect on United States history so that we can try to understand current events and our roles as teachers and change makers in this moment.

 

Every year we pick a book and discuss selected chapters quarterly, with our facilitator, Jane Rothschild. This month, we’re starting a new book: The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story.

 

Join us for community, learning, and reflection on how history can give us and our students courage to work towards a more just and equitable future. You don’t need to commit to the whole year to attend. Jump in anytime! You can find the upcoming reading assignment and digital excerpts of the book here. If you’d rather get your own copy of the book, you can buy it here. 

This group was created with adult education teachers, tutors, and administrators in mind, although everyone is welcome!
