TESOL International Association has released a White Paper on Discrimination in Education that responds to discriminatory educational practices that impact both English language teaching (ELT) professionals and the education of multilingual learners of English in the U.S. and around the globe. The white paper serves as a resource to ELT professionals, TESOL members (of which SSTESOL is an affiliate), and reaffirms a commitment to the values that undergird our profession.

Along with a worldwide team of TESOL International leaders, members, and experts, SSTESOL's Secretary Jennifer Killam worked with the advisory group that developed the white paper and contributed to its writing. In addition to calling on her own expertise in advocacy, she called on several SSTESOL advocates and professionals for their input and guidance on various drafts. SSTESOL is proud to have a Florida-based voice contribute to this important work, and we encourage you to read the statement here:
