Join the Executive

Your TESL Kingston Affiliate Chapter Executive may have from 5 to a maximum of 15 members who are elected as members-at-large for a three-year term with options for additional terms. At the first Executive meeting after an AGM, those members elect officers from within their group. Only the position of President requires an existing Executive member and not someone newly-elected. On average we meet as a group 3 -4 times per year and being on-line means no long distances or bad weather to contend with.

Why consider joining the TESL Kingston Executive? There are several reasons, but perhaps the most rewarding one is the personal and professional networking we do as a team. Our main goal is to develop professional development activities and discussions for our members and interested members of our community. It really helps if we have Executive members from a variety of teaching sites so we can better serve our members interests and needs. As an Executive member you have direct input for your local PD opportunities. Another benefit for many of us is that we are automatically exempted from the TESL Ontario PD audit selection process for each accredited year we serve.

So whether you are a new ESL teacher or tutor looking for teaching ideas and/or want to build your resume or if you are an experienced teacher willing to share your expertise, please consider joining the TESL Kingston Executive in 2023. This is a great opportunity for you to make a meaningful contribution to your TESL Kingston community as well as benefit yourself!

We would love to hear from you! If you are interested, please fill out the Expression of Interest form on the website www.teslkingston.org and send it to teslkmembership@gmail.com.
