Californians Together

We were proud to host the Fresno Multilingual Consortium Open House as part of the Central Valley Multilingual Consortium (CVMC), bringing together educators and community partners committed to supporting multilingual learners and their families. Attendees explored consortium programs and resources, connected with leadership and staff, and shared powerful student and family success stories. The event created a welcoming space for collaboration, learning, and strengthening partnerships across the region. Thank you to everyone who joined us and continues to support multilingual learners across the Central Valley.

The Family Engagement Community of Practice brings together education leaders and practitioners from across California to strengthen family–school partnerships, exchange strategies, and learn from one another. Participants explore practical tools, reflect on real challenges, and connect with peers statewide who support families in their communities. 📣 Join us tomorrow on March 26 at 11AM PST: bit.ly/4qHyjeW #PIQE #@NAFSCE #CASFEC
