One last workshop before the bell rings: TPRS 101

Before the first bell rings and your to-do list explodes, there's still time to start this coming school year with a plan that actually works.

Most teachers spend the first few weeks of the year scrambling…Figuring out routines, rebuilding momentum, hoping this is the year students finally start speaking. What if you walked in already knowing exactly how to make that happen?

That's what TPRS 101 is for. In four afternoons/evenings next week, you'll learn the tools to get students speaking sooner, thinking in the language faster, and staying engaged without you burning out trying to hold the class together.

Dates: August 10-13, 2026
Time: 4:00 PM–7:00 PM Pacific / 7:00 PM–10:00 PM Eastern (U.S.)
Location: Zoom

Summer's almost gone. Don't start the year the same way. Get energized with TPRS 2.0!

Don’t miss our Final FREE WEBINAR of the summer this Wednesday!

Teachers often assume TPRS means the teacher talks for most (or all) of class. And if you're an introvert, that can be downright exhausting.

If you've had that thought, you're not wrong. Jeremy Jordan (aka Señor Jordan) used to come home drained after teaching with TPRS/CI all day, feeling like he had to be "on" every single minute of every class.

This past year, with TPRS 2.0, that changed. Students started talking more. And Jeremy's energy levels went up, not down, by the end of the school day.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to create highly interactive classes where students do more of the talking, more of the thinking, and more of the communicating… without sacrificing your energy in the process.

Whether you’re an introvert, extrovert, omnivert, ambivert, or some other kind of “vert” entirely, this webinar is for any teach who wants students speaking more, without burning yourself out along the way.

Register for Señor Jordan's upcoming Free webinar!

World language teachers… Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, and beyond:

Quick question. In your classroom, who's doing more of the speaking in the language… you, or your students?

For most of us trained in traditional TPRS/CI methods, the honest answer is: we are. And it's exhausting.

I'm hosting a free webinar next week with a live demo of TPRS 2.0… where I will actually teach, showing how the ratio flips: students talking more, teachers talking less, and speaking proficiency developing faster than traditional methods typically allow.

No slides about theory first. You'll watch it happen, then we'll break down exactly why it works.
