From the heart of Oaxaca to the stage at NABE 2026 🌎✨ Oaxaca Vive brought the soul, color, music, and ancestral traditions of their community all the way from Oaxaca, Mexico—creating an unforgettable cultural experience for our attendees. This powerful performance was more than art; it was a celebration of language, identity, and heritage, and a meaningful benefit that enriched the NABE 2026 Conference. Moments like these remind us why bilingual and multicultural education matters—because culture lives, breathes, and connects us all. ¡Gracias, Oaxaca Vive, por compartir su cultura y corazón con nuestra comunidad NABE! 💃🏽🎶🌺

NABE 2026 may be over, but the mission continues. Thousands of bilingual and multilingual educators left inspired, not just with tote bags and notes, but with renewed purpose. 💙 We learned. We connected. We were reminded why this work matters. Now it’s time to take what we learned and bring it back to our classrooms, our communities, and our leadership spaces. The real impact begins after the conference. In the small moments. In the courageous conversations. In the students who feel seen, heard, and valued because of YOU. #MondayMotivation #NABE2026 #SpeakTheWorld #BilingualEducation #MultilingualMatters

So much to say about @NABEorg #NABE2026 in the coming posts but today my heart is just so full. In my 13 years of presenting at this incredible conference ...this session and the people who attended is one that will go down as "the savior session"...refueling my recently consistently weary soul with genuine love, authentic compassion, brilliant minds, true hearts, pure acceptance, tough talks, even tougher listening and a collective love for and commitment to a United States, public education system, and world we want to see for EVERYONE...because we B.E.L.I.E.V.E.!

Chicago fue sede de la 55° convención anual de la Asociación Nacional de Educación Bilingüe - @NABEorg Más de 2 mil profesionales comprometidos con la educación bilingüe, provenientes de todo 🇺🇲, se reunieron para compartir buenas prácticas y aprender estrategias de enseñanza.
