TESOL Conference

This past week I went to the Seattle Convention Center for the National TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) Conference. It was 5 very full days. People come from all over the country and the world each year to the conference. It changes states yearly. It was great that this year it was so close! Next year will be in New York City. There were easily 7,000 people attending.
Ryan took leave and came down also to get some rest. We didn't see each other much since I was in seminars ALL day long, but he did get his rest and enjoyed having time to read and relax.
The seminars were full of great info and I wanted to soak up as much as possible! I look forward to implementing some new ideas that I learned at the conference. It was a blessing that my job paid for everything:food, hotel, gas, parking, the conference, etc.!! I'm excited to keep learning to continually be a better ESL teacher.
