Multilingual Education Conference

The WQPT PBS Multilingual Education Conference is held annually in partnership with Western Illinois University-QC in Moline, Illinois.

Educators, caregivers and community members are invited to explore diverse topics in the theory and practice of multilingual education for students from early childhood to adults. 

The conference features a keynote presentation and a variety of breakout sessions, along with opportunities for community organizations to share information and for educators to earn continuing education and professional development credits.

Mark your calendars!
