K-12 Education Special Interest Group

   Are you in the process of becoming a certified TESOL?

Are you new to the profession? 

Or maybe you're a seasoned educator with lots to share and build the future of K-12 educators?

  • We bring elementary, middle, and high school ESOL teachers together to discuss current issues, challenges, and solutions to ESOL instruction. 
  • Share experiences and solutions with other teachers and learn how schools are meeting the language needs of our secondary English learners. 
  • Gather in workshops, presentations, and meetings to share ideas, learn different teaching techniques, explore new research, and discuss items of interest. 
  • Explore how to equip students to handle difficult academic content in all four language modes using the experiences of our colleagues from the greater D.C. Metro area.
