#EBCON2026#MultilingualMatters
This week, our Multilingual Programs Department hosted its annual EBCON conference, featuring over 30 local and in-house speakers. The event focused on best practices and strategies to support and unlock the future for our emergent bilinguals. From model lessons to student performances and vendor booths, EBCON was a valuable experience for educators across GISD and neighboring districts alike. 🔑

#MedinaMondayMessage: Students in #duallanguage programs deserve grade-level instruction in both program languages in all content areas on a regular basis. It is a matter of linguistic equity. How else will students achieve bilingualism AND biliteracy?
@MsPenaMEd@TaraSowels Thank you for supporting the students and their families to share their cultures and elevate their heritages. We would love to come again.
