Paridad

This is what a district director said after participating in a Paridad institute:

“Summit School District 104 participated in the Paridad Language Culture and Art Institute in the summer of 2016 and we were entirely thrilled with the experience. Even more impactful however were the professional and personal transformations that our participants underwent. As educators of linguistically and culturally diverse students, this trip provided a window into the reality of our students and the communities from which they prevail. Every last one of our participants was changed as a result of our experience in both professional and personal ways. Summit looks forward to a continued collaboration with Paridad.”

— J. Baricovich, Director of Assessment and English Learner Programming, Cook County School District 104

Thank you to all the educators, speakers, and participants who made the Multilingual Special Education Virtual Symposium 2026 such a meaningful experience.

Over these past days, we came together to learn, question, and grow in how we support multilingual learners with exceptionalities and their families.

We’re grateful to be part of a community that continues to show up with care, commitment, and intention.

✨ Until next year!

This is your final call to join the Multilingual Special Education Virtual Symposium 2026.
Starting soon, this two-day experience will bring together educators committed to supporting multilingual learners through more thoughtful assessment practices.
If you’ve been considering it — this is the moment.
