Teacher Educator Interest Section: Convention Stories Issue

Deadline for Submissions: 1 March 2023

The Teacher Educator Interest Section (TEIS) of TESOL Int’l invites submissions for the Spring 2023 issue of our IS newsletter. In this issue, we would like you to share your convention stories. Why do you, as a teacher educator, attend conventions? Share with us your first convention experience, or your online convention experience - whether as a presenter or an attendee. Or have you been involved behind the scenes as a reviewer? What role do conventions play in a teacher’s career development? Is attending conventions supported through management and the institution? Or is this something more personal and the responsibility of the individual? Share your stories, and your convention highlights!

We welcome submissions from teacher candidates’ voices, new teachers, teacher educators, mentor teachers, field supervisors--all of us involved in TESOL teacher education. We especially encourage contributions from around the globe, and new as well as seasoned authors, to build knowledge together.
