About this Event

We are inviting school and district administrators, EL instructional staff, and school interpreters to join us for this big event! We are all gathering in one room for one purpose and it is to discuss ethical and effective ways to support our multilingual learners and their families. You will have the opportunity to collaborate with other educators and interpreters, hear from a district who has experienced success with engaging multilingual families, and even participate in interpreter training in the afternoon. Whether you are a school administrator and EL staff only joining for a morning of speakers and collaboration or an interpreter joining for an additional afternoon of language ambassador training, you will leave with tips and tools for taking your EL support to the next level.
