Dear [Principal/Administrator Name],

I am writing to formally request approval to attend TESOL 2027 International Convention & Expo, taking place on Mar 15–18, 2027 at Houston, TX, USA.

This conference focuses on Teaching & Curriculum and Policy & Equity. I am specifically interested in this opportunity because it aligns directly with our School Improvement Plan goal of [insert school goal], and will allow me to bring back actionable strategies to improve student outcomes in my [Subject/Grade] classroom.

Below is a breakdown of the costs associated with this professional development:

  • Registration Fee: $[Amount]
  • Travel/Accommodation: $[Amount]
  • Total Cost: $[Amount]

To ensure there is no disruption to student learning, I will prepare detailed lesson plans and materials for a substitute teacher during my absence. Upon my return, I would be glad to share the key takeaways with the [Department/Grade-Level] team or during a future staff meeting to maximize the benefit of this PD for our wider school community.

Thank you for your time and your continued support of my professional growth. Please let me know if you need any additional documentation (such as the event brochure or a formal agenda) or if we can briefly discuss this request.
