2027 MATSOL Conference – Proposals due November 9

Posted on by

Present at the 2027 MATSOL Conference, the largest gathering of English Learner and Multilingual Learner educators in Massachusetts.

MATSOL encourages engaging, interactive presentations that make the theory to practice connection. Successful proposals include practical classroom activities informed by current research and pedagogy, demonstrations of successful instructional practices, examinations of current issues in education, and research that informs educators in the Massachusetts context. Presentations should engage the audience through hands-on or interactive activities when possible.

In alignment with our mission to promote equity and excellence for multilingual learners, MATSOL encourages submission of proposals that demonstrate an asset-based approach to the education of multilingual learners and show a strong commitment to racial justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. To reflect this goal, there is a section in the proposal to explain how the presentation will address racial justice and/or culturally responsive teaching.

MATSOL is continuing to offer a hybrid conference format: All presentations will be made in-person and selected presentations will be live-streamed for virtual viewing.

The MATSOL Conference Committee is seeking proposals from members to plan and facilitate networking sessions at the MATSOL 2019 Conference.

The sessions take place each day of the conference for 30 minutes after the lunch and keynote. A networking session may be repeated on two or three days, to allow conference participants to attend a different session on each day. Networking sessions may have more than one facilitator.

See the 2018 Networking Session list for topic ideas, but we welcome other topics and formats that encourage connection between members, discussion, and sharing.
