National Chinese Language Conf. April 17

This is really THE big Chinese language education conference in the US every year. If you’re a teacher or principal starting a program, it’s the one you should go to. I went last year and was blown away. Also amazing access to teaching materials in their exhibition hall. Really worth it.

And if you want to present, the deadline is Nov. 17. So start writing your proposals now.

I don’t plan on attending this year, but it would be worthwhile for some parents to go and present on parent issues. Feel free to contact me if you think you’re attending and perhaps we can connect up folks from different areas.
