The Hudson Valley RBERN team is interested in hosting a virtual bilingual conference this November and are seeking feedback about how we can schedule this conference to include all educators. Last year, we held our first annual Sustaining Multilingualism in the Hudson Valley conference on election day in November. We are looking to schedule this virtual conference during the week of November 1st this year. Please take a moment to complete the Inquiry for Scheduling to help us understand the potential availability of educators to participate in the conference.

Struggle and Strength: The Central American Immigrant Experience during COVID-19
10/3/20, 9:30-11:00 AM
Central American immigrant students represent one of the fastest-growing populations in the American classroom. Most have experienced significant trauma in their countries of origin and on route to the United States, and many have had interrupted or limited formal education. Their experiences, particularly during the pandemic, are unique, as are their significant reserves of strength and resilience. This workshop will help educators understand the obstacles these students face and ways to hone their resilience in light of new challenges. (Registration link is forthcoming.)
