CoTESOL
is the well of fresh ideas and support that unites us professionally
here in Colorado. Members rely on this network of colleagues to stay
informed of new trends and opportunities that are too numerous to
explore by themselves. Being involved in CoTESOL can be a tremendous networking opportunity. You can meet people from all over the state,
find distant colleagues interested in the same things you're interested
in, and use these connections to learn and to help others learn. The
people of CoTESOL are a great professional resource. Click here to learn more about membership benefits.
When Does CoTESOL Meet?
An annual
two-day Fall Convention features nationally recognized speakers,
presentations by teachers, "hands-on" small group sessions, exhibits of
new publications, awards presentations, and a business meeting. This
convention is usually held in November.

members. These forums are usually held in conjunction with the Fall
Convention or at other times throughout the year.
