Benjamin Stewart holds a PhD in curriculum and instructional leadership and a master's degree in education, curriculum and instruction: technology. He's a full-time EFL teacher educator and researcher at the University of Aguascalientes in Mexico with a particular interest in how teaching practices promote higher student achievement.

In addition to his work at the University, he also is the founder of Teachers for Interactive Language Learning, or TILL (https://plus.google.com/communities/106289715383230353120). His belief is that the best teacher professional development resides in the informal pedagogical dialogues that stem from blending face-to-face interactions with those found online.
