This conference is for: program directors and administrators of
community-based heritage language schools; members of the language
communities involved in these schools; and directors and leaders in public,
private, and charter schools who are interested in working with
community-based heritage language schools.

The goals of the conference are to:


   -     Build partnerships among and across community-based heritage
   language schools and determine arenas for future action
   -     Help schools create, strengthen, and build their school structures
   and activities
   -     Clarify the importance of community-based heritage language
   schools in the United States and in the lives of language communities in
   this country
   -     Develop information about community-based heritage language
   schools through a national survey of schools
   -     Share and make available resources that will be helpful to schools


Before attending the conference, please prepare by doing the following:

1. Watch videos from the six panelists (for the session on October 9 at
1:00 to 2:00 p.m.) and videos from the two speakers (for the session on
October 10 at 9:30-10:00 a.m.), where they describe how their organization
and their work are connected with and committed to community-based heritage
language schools, the resources they have that are helpful for those of us
working in those schools, and what we can learn from them. All videos are
posted in this YouTube playlist.

2. Then please submit your questions for the panelists and the speakers
(either to a specific panelist or speaker or a more general question),
using this Google Form by October 1. We will send the questions to the
panelists and speakers before their sessions and they will answer them
there.
