Thank you for attending MABE’s Annual Dual Language Bilingual Education Conference! 

Here are some post-conference updates for you: 

  • How did we do? There are two different ways you can help us improve.
    1) Conference Evaluation. Please complete the MABE 2025 Conference Evaluation. Once this evaluation is completed, your MABE 2025 Conference Attendance Certificate (PDP) will be emailed to you. We truly value your feedback as we are always striving to improve our services and best help our members.
    2) Session Feedback Form. After each session you’ve added to your schedule, you will be prompted to complete a quick Feedback Form that is embedded on Sched. Open the sessions you attended and scroll down past the description and speakers to access the brief evaluation.

  • We saw plenty of people taking pictures - and we took some too! Please add your images and videos to the MABE 2025 Conference Album or email them to admin@mabene.org – and feel free to download any you want for yourself, too. 

  • THANK YOU to our sponsors (explore their pages for some freebies), volunteers and conference committee, and presenters, without which today wouldn’t have been possible! Big shoutout to our Keynote Kate Menken, the UMass Center at Springfield and Tower Square for hosting, and to Windham Public School Teachers Band for live music, especially Carlos Rivera-Ocasio and Enoch Robbins for lending their sound system for the Opening and Closing Ceremony. 

  • Sched will be up through the month of April so that you can learn more about us, get some resources (for DLE tools and research), and explore session details. After that, session materials will be uploaded to MABE’s Member’s Only Pages. 

  • You have until Saturday, March 22, 2025 to get your own conference shirt, if you haven’t already.

Thank you for sharing and learning with us! We hope to work with you again soon.
