Dear Teachers,

I am so excited about this site and the limitless possibilities it holds for us as a ZebraEnglish family!! My husband and I started discussing this vision in early January when new teachers were coming on board. I love connecting people and making everyone feel welcomed and an important part of the whole. I have met awesome people along the way from the first teacher group at ZE, to referrals reaching out for help, to interviewing applicants, and finally conducting Teacher Briefings for newly hired teachers that become a part of our amazing group.

During that time God brought Cheri, Susanna, and I together with the same vision. We, as the admins, want to spotlight others and see the skills and talents that each has to offer this unique community. We have been eagerly working on this project and meeting weekly to make this happen!

Of course, I can’t go any further without giving a shout-out to my husband who worked tirelessly to make this happen. He wanted to do this for the ZE community. He met with the three of us providing direction and wisdom when needed.

And now, we get to share this community site with you. This is just the beginning! We have had you in mind the whole time. We want to hear from you. We want your ideas. We want to spotlight teachers and employees of ZE. We have so many things whirling in our minds to make this the most amazing ESL online group. We invite you to give us your input and to submit blog posts for the ZE community. Check out the Workshops, Chats, and the exciting tentative Meetup coming your way next CNY!

Again, welcome, let’s connect and rock the ZE community site like none other! Much love and blessings, Joeann
