Hello colleagues, Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week, so I want to send out a world of thanks to those of you who teach adult English learners. Adult Basic Educators work with the most diverse group of learners in the world, and you all do a remarkable job addressing the wide range of needs represented by the students in your class.
It's time to celebrate the hard work you do day in and day out!
You are invited to share your appreciation for your colleagues all across the country who are doing this important work.
Cheers, Susan Finn Miller
Moderator, English Language Acquisition Group
