Experts from WestEd’s English Learner and Migrant Education Services will make several presentations at the 2022 National Migrant Education Conference, April 7–10, at the San Antonio Marriott Rivercenter in San Antonio, Texas.
NASDME (National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education) is the professional organization of state officials charged with the effective and productive management of supplemental programs that help migrant children succeed in school.
NASDME annually sponsors the National Migrant Education Conference to provide professional development/training, leadership, and networking opportunities for all persons concerned with the education of migrant children. The theme of the conference is Bringing the Community Together.
Experts with WestEd’s English Learner and Migrant Education Services collaborate with schools, districts, and states to promote success and enhance learning opportunities for English Learners, Multilingual Learners, and Migratory Students.
Our highly interactive sessions will explore how to expand classroom learning to home environments using family and caregiver activities for young English and Migrant Learners, creating welcoming environments to support deep learning for migratory students, and more.
Review the schedule below for more details.
Please stop by BOOTH #8 in the exhibit area to meet our staff and learn about our research, resources, professional development services, and career opportunities.
