Seven multiple subject teacher candidates seeking a Spanish/English Bilingual Authorization attended the California Association of Bilingual Education conference February 13-16 in Long Beach, Calif. The annual conference provides opportunities for professional development and networking with other bilingual educators, parents and staff from across the state.
This year’s conference focused on how bilingual professionals could facilitate change in their communities.
“I think I speak on behalf of all of the students when I say that we feel so lucky to have been included in this conference and so appreciative of Professors Bauer and Prieto for making it possible for us to go,” said Jesse Sanford, one of the teacher candidates “I was able to attend a diverse mixture of presentations. I loved how some of them made me think about the world and how some could be practically applied to the classroom.”
Funding for the candidates to attend the conference came from college-based fees. The School of Education hopes to continue to send candidates to the conference annually.
