EB Con
Join the Department of Multilingual Programs for our annual Emergent Bilingual Conference! Language professionals have the opportunity to spend a full day learning strategies, ideas, and best practices from language acquisition experts.
Our goal for 2025 is to bring experts in the field of multilingual education together so educators can take away a toolbox of best practices to ensure their Emergent Bilingual students graduate with the knowledge, skills, and language to "Unlock the Future''.
Questions? Contact Xelina Welsh or Debbie Nguyen.
Attending the conference
Both GISD staff members and staff from other local districts can attend.
Please save the date and follow us on X (formerly Twitter) at @GISD4EBs. We look forward to seeing you there! #EBCON2025
