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''.
Attending the conference
Both GISD staff members and staff from other local districts can attend.
GISD professional staff should register for the event to get Exchange Day credit:
Non-GISD staff members do not need to register, though we can provide CPE documentation upon request. To get connected with additional event information, fill out the EB Con Interest form.
