A Message from Your Interest Section Leader, Angela Super
Hello MITESOLers,
My name is Angela Super, and I’m honored to serve as the newly-elected Adult Education Interest Section Leader for MITESOL. I am a TESOL specialist with over 25 years of experience teaching multilingual learners across diverse educational settings. I’m excited to support our adult education community and help strengthen the resources and connections available to our members.
I encourage you to check out MITESOL Messages for updates, shared resources, and discussions relevant to adult education. It’s a great way to stay connected and informed. We meet on the third Monday of each month to share ideas, opportunities, and community updates. If you are interested in receiving links, reminders, and updates about MITESOL adult education, please fill out this form.
We welcome participation from teachers, administrators, and anyone dedicated to supporting English learners across the state. Below, I’ve included resources about upcoming events and conferences.
I look forward to connecting with you throughout the year and supporting the important work you do.
Sincerely,
Angela Super
