Welcome to the inaugural
Louisiana World Language Reading Conference!
The Louisiana World Language Reading Conference is a one-day, high-impact professional development event designed to support Louisiana teachers through stronger literacy instruction in world language classrooms.
Louisiana has made significant, nationally recognized progress in early English literacy, yet many students, particularly those with learning differences, still face barriers in accessing and succeeding in world languages (e.g., French, Spanish).
This conference addresses that gap by equipping world language teachers with practical, research-based strategies they can bring back to their classrooms.
We are thrilled to be joined by our keynote speaker Shanna Beber, Executive Director of Literacy at the Louisiana Department of Education, who was in charge of the state’s recent literacy initiatives!
