The Regional Conferences play a vital part in providing participants with quality, in depth and innovative school teachers/staff/parent professional development. The California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE) is a statewide non-profit organization established in 1976 to promote quality bilingual education programs for English Learners. Our members include teachers, administrators, parents, instructional assistants, other community members and organizations. CABE’s vision, “Biliteracy and Educational Equity for All” is based on the premise that students in order to succeed and be powerful forces in our communities in the 21st Century, have to be: 1) multilingual; 2) knowledgeable of the diversity in our society and recognize/respect the differing perspectives of our multicultural global society; 3)information and technologically literate; and 4) civically oriented and active advocates for their communities. This can only be accomplished when every child has the opportunity to learn in quality educational programs that promote proficiency in English and other non-English languages and truly promote respect for the diverse families of California. We invite you to join us at this conference and experience high quality professional development for Para-Educators and Teachers, and an opportunity for parents to gain vital information and develop leadership skills. Whether you are an instructional assistant working in a second grade classroom or the community liaison in your school, we have you in mind as we develop and plan all of our conferences.
