Professional Development Opportunities from TESOL International Association

6Ps lp photo

The 6 Principles (6Ps) Workshop Series

A cutting-edge professional development opportunity designed for all English language educators passionate about delivering impactful language instruction. The 6 Principles are universal guidelines drawn from decades of research in language pedagogy and language acquisition theory. They are targets for teaching excellence and should guide any program of English language instruction.

Teacher Leadership for School-Wide English Learning (SWEL) Workshop Series

Language teachers are often asked to lead workshops and support their colleagues' instruction, but they rarely have access to the training needed to accomplish this work efficiently, effectively, and confidently. The SWEL workshop series prepares language teachers to share their expertise with colleagues through collaborative discussions and observations. It is a systematic framework that recognizes teacher professional learning is most effective when it is in-house.

AI in the English Language Classroom Workshop

English language teachers are increasingly encouraged to integrate AI into their instruction, but few have access to structured, hands-on training that builds both confidence and practical skills. Featuring 7.5 hours of interactive content over five days, the AI in the English Language Classroom Workshop supports teachers through guided exploration of leading AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Notebook LLM, and Claude. Participants engage in collaborative material redesign, activity creation, and planning processes that reflect real classroom needs.

Social-Emotional Learning Workshop 

While social-emotional learning (SEL) is becoming increasing critical for learners’ success, teachers often feel unprepared to incorporate or address it in their classrooms. Featuring 7.5 hours of interactive content over five days, the Social-Emotional Learning Workshop serves as a practical, concise, and easy-to-follow reference that teachers in K-12 and adult education and teacher educators can use in their classrooms.
