SUMMARY:What Does it Look Like to Lead a Language Program?
DESCRIPTION:The Languages Without Borders (LWB) pre-conference is an interactive professional learning event for the people who shape\, support\, and sustain language learning in their schools and communities. \nIt will connect research\, practical experience\, peer dialogue\, and land-based learning across diverse language education contexts. Participants will explore the practical realities of leading strong\, responsive\, and sustainable language programs. \nPurpose\nStrong language programs depend on intentional leadership\, well-supported teachers\, and meaningful connections among schools\, families\, communities\, and systems. \nThe pre-conference will create space for participants to consider the following: \n\nWhat effective leadership looks like in language-learning settings\nHow to recruit\, support\, and retain strong language teachers\nHow to respond to the day-to-day challenges educators encounter in language classrooms\nHow to build professional and community relationships that help language programs thrive\n\nAudience\nLeadership in language education includes educators\, coordinators\, consultants\, department heads\, instructional leaders\, and school leaders who support additional language learning – including official languages\, Indigenous languages\, international languages\, and other language learning contexts. \nNote: Participants do not need to oversee a “formal” language program to benefit. The pre-conference is also relevant for those supporting language acquisition in schools and communities where learners’ language needs are a central focus. \nFormat and Structure\nFollowing an opening panel\, participants will choose between two learning pathways: focused breakout sessions on key aspects of language program leadership or the Walk to The Confluence. \nThe walk will invite participants to connect with the land and reflect on how Indigenous perspectives\, pedagogies\, relationships\, and place can inform leadership in language education. More details to come! \n\n\n\nStart\nEnd\nActivity\n\n\n1:00 pm\n2:00 pm\nOpening Panel: What Does It Look Like to Lead a Language Program?\nA panel conversation exploring the opportunities\, responsibilities\, and realities of language program leadership\n\n\n2:00 pm\n2:45 pm\nBreakout sessions\nWalk to the Confluence \nA guided\, land-based learning experience\n\n\n2:45 pm\n3:00 pm\nBreak\n\n\n3:00 pm\n3:45 pm\nBreakout sessions\n\n\n3:45 pm\n4:00 pm\nBreak\n\n\n4:00 pm\n4:45 pm\nTable Talks\nFacilitated peer discussion to connect ideas\, share local challenges\, and identify practical next steps\n\n\n5:00 pm\n7:00 pm\nCocktail reception\n\n\n\nLanguages Without Borders 2027\nLearn More About LWB 2027
