Laurie,
Now may be the time to introduce some "unplugged" or "Dogme"
strategies to these teachers.
Jemma Gardner describes it this way: "Dogme promotes using your
students as the main resource for classroom content, changing your
role from “teacher” to “peer” and advocates using less spoon-fed
methods and spoon-fed materials. I believe this approach will allow me
to become more attuned to my students and their needs, goals and
interests" This quote is taken from Here
The official Unplugged Site (Scott Thornbury, luke Meddings) is HERE
You can read the theory first, or do what I did - start with reading
descriptions of lessons that real teachers had in real classes and how
they worked out (then read the theory!) It doesn't matter that their
classes are different from mine - I've adapted some of the lessons to
suit my needs and have been really pleased with the results. The great
thing about reading about these lessons on teachers' blogs is that you
can ask them questions and they answer you! Even Scott Thornbury
replies!
Here are some examples that came to mind now - there are many others:

Enjoy!
