Congratulations to February’s
NJTESOL/NJBE Member of the Month

Kelly McLaughlin!

Kelly is in her second year teaching at Morristown High School, but has already found ways to support the needs of all learners by creating engaging lessons that challenge students to achieve more. She often creates her own units on various topics. Her sense of humor and passion for teaching and learning are contagious.

As Kelly states in her own words, “I’m honored to be the NJTESOL/NJBE member of the month! I have had such a wonderful start to my career as an ELL teacher thanks to the support and guidance of all the educators in our community. I want to especially thank my cooperating teacher, Ms. Lidia Bis of the Newark Public Schools, and my colleagues and mentors, Ms. Kathryn Tepedino and Mrs. Alina White of the Morris School District.”

Please join us in celebrating one of our newest and inspiring members!

Nominate the member of the month!
Do you know a member of NJTESOL/NJBE who should be recognized?

NJTESOL/NJBE has so many amazing teachers throughout our state that it would be fitting to highlight some of them. Nominees could be colleagues who are available to answer questions about ELLs or the Bilingual Education code; educators who support students and their families beyond the classroom with projects, college applications, and extracurricular activities; someone who joins committees in support of ELLS or to implement positive change for the community. You can also self-nominate! The nominee must be a member of NJTESOL/NJBE. Nomination Link
