Dear PAIS Community,

As we approach the next TESOL convention, we are pleased to bring you the latest PAIS Newsletter. As our chairs have mentioned, it includes contributions we think you’ll find relevant to your work in these challenging times.

This issue is the last one for which we will serve as editors, and we want to thank the PAIS community for its support of the newsletter over these last 4 years. It has been a rich experience to serve the PAIS and TESOL community in this way, and we have learned so much that has served us in our work as administrators. We, in turn, look forward to supporting new editors as they move PAIS forward in its work.

Warm regards,

Jacqueline Record and Hannaliisa Savolainen
