As English as a Second Language (ESL) <br>teachers, they worked together on lots of projects... and had lots of <br>fun as they worked. A partnership was born! <br>Together, Jane and Sheila have teaching credentials in several <br>states and two continents. With years and years... and years... of <br>experience (they just don't want to count them all, ha!), they have <br>taught ESL to little kids, big kids, university students, adults, company <br>executives, and other teachers in the U.S. and Europe (both <br>online and in regular classroom settings). <br>Both Sheila and Jane have served as members of the New Jersey <br>Department of Education Advisory Committee for ESL/Bilingual <br>Education. They've facilitated online ESL training courses for teachers <br>through the NJ DOE professional development program. Sheila <br>has held several leadership positions scoring teacher candidate responses <br>for an international testing company, and Jane has written <br>ESL test questions and rated English as a Foreign Language exams <br>for another internationally recognized testing company. (They teach, <br>they test, they score!) <br>They have won many awards for excellence in teaching, including <br>two Teacher of the Year awards, and corporate citations for excellence. <br>They've given numerous presentations and have written curriculum <br>and syllabi for diverse ESL populations. Add to this some fun <br>teaching projects in Spanish, public speaking, drama, writing... and, <br>we're not kidding, even soccer skills and you've got two writers who know how to have a good time writing a book! <br>Jane is now the Director of ESL Services for Emory College of Arts <br>and Sciences in Atlanta, Georgia. Sheila is a lecturer in the English <br>Language Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and continues <br>to teach, write and consult in New Jersey and New York. Although <br>they live several states away, both are happy to find time to work <br>together on fun projects... like this book!
