K-12 Special Interest Group

Welcome to TESOL Conferences K-12 Special Interest Group (TC K-12 SIG)!

If you are interested in school teaching and learning, you can join our SIG to share your experiences and learn from those of others.

This SIG was born in 2024 and was the first distinct TC SIG. We are dedicated to bridging the gap between k-12 teachers and continuous professional development (CPD), providing a supportive platform for meaningful discussions and practical solutions tailored to the unique challenges we face in our schools.

In our SIG, you'll find a community of passionate educators eager to share and learn successful teaching and learning approaches, innovative practices, and technologies that align with our unique school context. We believe in the power of collaboration and idea-sharing, and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued and heard.

Thank you for being a part of this vibrant community. Together, we can make a significant impact on our professional development and the education of our students.

Warm regards,

Muhammad Shelby, TC K-12 SIG Chair
