February 5th & 6th
This annual event provides a venue for Latino and non-Latino educators, business and community leaders to learn about ongoing and emerging educational issues impacting the Latino community. This conference will support the efforts of numerous educators by providing valuable information on a range of innovative strategies for the fastest growing ethnic U.S. segment β Latinos.
The OALA Winter Conference is more than a conference with great speakers, itβs a vehicle to develop, support and mentor the next generation of Oregon educators in a more diverse and challenging learning environment.
Held annually, the OALA Winter Conference offers intensive exploration of the field of innovative instructional and learning strategies for Latino students, best practices for parent involvement, closing of the achievement gap for English language learners, and professional development training for aspiring administrators. Participants can expect a hands-on curriculum which includes presentations by nationally-recognized authors and educational officials.
I am so grateful for this organization overall. It truly leaves me renewed and encouraged. I was able to see the legacy of our communities collective work! It is rare that we are celebrated or acknowledged for our commitment to equity.
