Silence in the CI classroom doesn’t mean disengagement, apathy, or failure—it often means processing, and today we’re unpacking what that really looks like.

Before you panic, take the CI Proficiency Quiz and see where you land at https://imim.us/ciquiz.

In this episode of Comprehend THIS!, we talk about quiet students, trusting input over output, subtle comprehension checks, and why participation doesn’t have to be loud to be real—with plenty of teacher honesty and sarcasm included.

Need practical support? The CI Survival Kit has your back with ready-to-use resources at https://imim.us/kit.
