Meeting Description:

The New York State Association for Bilingual Education (NYSABE) is proud to
announce its Annual Conference to be held on May 21, 2016. Please join us for
a one-day conference centered on our theme
Changing Policies, New Directions: Bilingual Education Paving the Way to Every
Student's Success.

This is a year of changing policies, practices, and perspectives in our field,
both at the Federal and State levels. It is critical that we, as current and
future educators, families, researchers, and policy makers interested in the
education of ELLs/bilingual learners, understand these changes and their
impact on our students.

Our beloved organization, NYSABE, is undergoing changes as well. In response
to these changes and in order to create a greater access for our members to
high quality professional development that addresses these changing policies
and at the same time is responsive to targeted regional needs, this year we
will hold a one-day conference in two tri-regional venues on the same day
instead of the annual statewide conference.

NEW YORK CITY: REGIONS I, II, III
WESTERN NEW YORK: REGIONS IV, V, VI

There will be communication between the two sites for part of the day as a way
of connecting across regions and fulfilling NYSABE's annual meeting
requirement as set forth in the bylaws. In addition to major sessions and
breakout sessions, breakfast and lunch will be provided and a
networking/social event is being planned at each venue - Friday evening, May
20th (Western New York Region) and Saturday, May 21st (NYC).
