T3 Engagement Series
As part of Title III Initiatives, the TEA Emergent Bilingual Support Division is thrilled to assist LEAs in planning events which provide valuable information to attendees from presenters at the top of their fields across the state of Texas.
Join us by hosting watch parties for your parents, families, and community while we provide the experts and interpreters so that all attendees can learn and listen in their native languages.
These events will be conducted virtually over the Zoom platform and will be presented in English. If other languages are needed, interpreters will also be provided.
