If you’ve never joined us for CI-Reboot before—or if you’ve been with us since the beginning—you’re in for something special this year.

#CIReboot25 is happening July 7–10, 2025, and we’re bringing together some of the most inspiring voices in Comprehension-Based Teaching for four days of professional development you can actually look forward to.

This year’s theme?

Preparing an Inclusive, Comprehension-Based Curriculum for 2025

You'll come away with practical tools, fresh strategies for teaching with readers, and that rare feeling of “Yes—this is why I love teaching languages.”

What we’re especially excited about this year?

The new presenters and familiar favorites coming together in one incredible lineup.

You’ll hear from:

And that’s just the beginning.

This summer’s roster includes Adriana Ramírez, Dahiana Castro, Karen Rowan, Paulino Brener, A.C. Quintero, Claudia Elliott, Jason Fritze, Benjamin Tinsley, Margarita Peréz García, Carolina Gómez, Fadi Abughoush, Kia D. London, Profe Valentina, John Sifert, Paulino Brener, Jenniffer Saldaña Whyte and more to come!

They’ll be sharing sessions on everything from MovieTalk and PictureTalk to culturally responsive instruction, student-created stories, and powerful reading routines using Comprehension-based Readers. Whether you’re brand new to comprehension-based teaching or looking to go deeper, there’s something here for you.

What makes the CI-Reboot different?

• It’s fully online, so you can join from wherever your summer takes you.
• Every session is recorded, so you’ll never miss out.
• It’s grounded in real classroom practice—the kind that translates to Monday morning.
• It’s financially accessible: $169 regular registration, $20 off with a coupon code from one of our presenters (Become a follower or fan and find their code on their pages! See below)
• It has informal support sessions for French teachers, Spanish teachers and elementary teachers for conversation and support and curriculum development ideas and strategies with presenters and each other.
• You can talk to each other, find teachers near you or teachers far away teaching the same subject and level and leave with easily sustainable collaboration for next year.

No flights, no hotels, no juggling schedules. Just high-quality PD on your terms.

Whether you’re watching from a hammock, a shaded patio, or your classroom (we see you, summer school heroes!), this conference is designed to meet you where you are.
