Greetings, colleagues!

I hope you all are happy and thriving both professionally and personally.

The Teacher Educator Interest Section (TEIS) has some new developments happening that I am pleased to share with you.

First, you voted for a future leader of the TEIS and I am happy to announce that Michelle Benegas is our incoming chair-elect.

Second, we have other TEIS leaders changing roles. Our own long-time and highly esteemed myTESOL community manager, Nikki Ashcroft, is stepping down to pursue other leadership opportunities. We are so grateful to her for her dedicated, steady, and insightful leadership on the TEIS team and in the myTESOL Community. Thank you so much, Nikki!

We have a coeditor officially joining the team of TEIS News after this edition, Bridget Schvarcz. Bridget will be working with Fatma Ghailan and our book review column editor to engage the community via the newsletter.

Third, speaking of the TEIS newsletter, we have a new name for the newsletter. The reasons for the change of name is that the TEIS leadership team felt the name was not enough like a journal, which resulted in difficulties securing articles. The new newsletter name is The Global Forum: Teacher Education in TESOL.

If you would like to submit an article, please email Fatma Ghailan & Bridget Schvarcz at teis.newsletter@gmail.com.

Last, we have social media pages for outreach to new members. If you would like to visit the TEIS Facebook page, you can find it at Teacher Education—a TESOL Interest Section (@tesol.teis). The TEIS Twitter handle is @TESOL_TEIS.

Please reach out to me if you would like to share your ideas or get involved. I really hope to hear from you.

Cheers,

Kate Mastruserio Reynolds
Past Chair, Teacher Educator Interest Section
