2017 Ohio Latino Education Summit
Latino Education Summit 2017
The Ohio Latino Education Summit is an event that brings together educators, administrators, non-profit leaders, parents, students and policymakers to discuss prevailing issues regarding the education of Ohio's Hispanic students. The conference features workshops where selected participants share "best practices" with each other and with attendees, as well as additional programming focused on educational issues for Ohio Latinos.
Under the theme of "Bridges to Innovation: Building Your Toolkit for Latino Success," next year's Ohio Latino Affairs Commission gathering will convene 200-300 educators and community members from around the state to share best practices and to discuss issues of importance regarding the education of Hispanic students in Ohio.
Summit Objectives:
- Provide practical training to educators, administrators and community leaders by identifying, selecting and showcasing the top initiatives addressing educational achievement among Ohio’s Latino students.
- Bring together educators, counselors, administrators and policymakers to help them share information, resources and ideas and build networks that transcend district boundaries.
- Equip attendees with the knowledge and resources they will need to better serve their Latino students.
This year we are soliciting best practices on the following topics:
• Promoting Equal Services for all Children under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
• Cultural and Linguistic Competence in Education.
• Bridging the Gap between PreK and Higher Ed.
• English Learners and New Arrivals/Bilingual Education.
