UPenn TESOL Summer Intensive

I was about to reinvigorate my teaching career when the pandemic hit like a brick wall. Finding myself at home and my children's primary caregiver, I found out about this course through an email to alums at Penn GSE. It seemed like the perfect time to keep current in my practice, and pick up another credential, particularly one as versatile as a TESOL certification. I was not disappointed. My instructor was so personable, supportive, and provided interesting and relevant materials. The experience I had during my practicum, which also due to the pandemic was remote, will reshape my teaching and has really helped me reorient how I think about planning and implementing lessons. Additionally, I felt like in besides the certificate, I was truly learning and honing my practice with relevant feedback and support.
