Some campuses choose to go further by bringing me back for a QSSSA refresher alongside The Visual Non-Glossary. When Steps 5 (Visuals and Vocabulary Strategies) and 6 are supported with the VNG, teachers have a clear, practical way to consistently implement high-quality structured conversations.

We typically start by getting all staff on board with a full-day 7 Steps overview. There’s always a lot of energy in the room, and we leave with a clear focus: begin implementing Steps 1–4 and start building routines around Step 6 (Structured Conversations) using QSSSA.

Amazing day in Colorado Springs for the Newcomer Summit!
A full day of QSSSA + Visual Non-Glossary work.
When the structure is clear, more students speak up
And their ideas get stronger!
That’s the goal.
Not just more talk, but better talk!
