Dear PAIS Community,
We are thrilled to be able to bring you this latest issue of
the PAIS Newsletter with contributions from our
colleagues across the field! We want to take a moment to thank our
authors for contributing their expertise and insights. Program
administrators fill diverse roles in the ELT profession, from teacher
trainer to records manager, from curriculum coordinator to all-around
problem solver. If you have an innovative practice that could be adapted
in other contexts, please consider sharing with the PAIS community by
writing for the PAIS Newsletter.
The PAIS Newsletter is just one of several
initiatives that we have undertaken this year to reinvigorate our
community of practice. Most recently, PAIS coordinated our first virtual
meeting to bring you timely and relevant information on pathway
programs. With more than 50 participants, we were encouraged by the
enthusiastic response from our community. Our goal is to continue to
reach out to you through the MyTESOL portal to solicit feedback on how
we can best serve our unique population.
Finally, PAIS is an all-volunteer effort! We want to encourage
you to get involved with us by reaching out through the PAIS MyTESOL forum or even
by attending the PAIS Annual Business Meeting at the TESOL
International Convention. This is a great way to network with
like-minded professionals in ELT administration.
Sincerely
Sherry Warren & Erin O’Reilly
