Greetings, colleagues! I am pleased to be serving the Teacher
Education Interest Section as Chair Elect. In the two years of
interacting with the leadership of the Teacher Education Interest
Section, I have been fortune to work with smart, collaborative and
supportive colleagues, who have graciously helped me learn the ropes and
prepare for my future role. I cheerfully anticipate working with all of
you. Please feel free to communicate with me at the Convention in
Chicago or via the TESOL Community and/or Facebook (Teacher Education – a
TESOL interest section).
At the TESOL International Association 2018 Convention in
Chicago, there are many excellent pedagogy, research and discussion
sessions for teacher educators. Thank you to all our wonderful proposal
reviewers for their time and expertise in helping us develop an
innovative and informative array of convention offerings. Here are a
selection of teacher education sessions at the Convention.
