WHEREAS, TESOL has a long-standing commitment to the in-service and professional development needs of its members; and

WHEREAS, Publishing articles, conducting research, and participating at conferences and conventions constitute valuable professional development experience; and

WHEREAS, TESOL practitioners who are employed on a part-time, adjunct, and/or contingent basis benefit from professional development activity; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That TESOL support and encourage the establishment of salary schedules for part-time, adjunct, and contingent faculty that include pay increases to recognize professional development activity, as distinct from increases based on cost of living or years of service, and to encourage continued professional development.
