Hello Everyone,
It was wonderful to see many of you at the International
Teaching Assistant (ITA) Professionals Symposium in February, and at the
2019 TESOL Convention in March, and to participate in the ITA sessions
that were offered at both events. Every year, participating in these
events highlights my sense of gratitude for the lively and committed
group of people that compose our professional ITA community.
I would especially like to thank Derina Samuels (outgoing ITA
Interest Section [IS] chair) for all her efforts in leading our IS. The
past year encompassed many challenges, and Derina met them head on. I
would also like to sincerely thank last year’s leadership committee for
all the hard work that went into leading our IS for the 2018–2019
cycle.
I am looking forward to an interesting year as the TESOL ITAIS
chair, and I will do my utmost to represent our IS in the broader TESOL
community. I’m genuinely honored to serve you all for the upcoming year.
Warm regards,
Mo Burke |
