“A superbly well organized event, this conference brought together an impressive group of K-16 educators with divergent backgrounds and experiences. Presenters offered a broad range of models for teaching Chinese in divergent settings. This conference was a great opportunity for connecting with others who are involved nationally with Chinese language initiatives, especially in primary and secondary schools.”
