Bilingual Education Research SIG Mentoring Session

Beginning in 2012, the BER SIG has sponsored a mentoring session in which we have paired young scholars with senior scholars in the field for some focused mentoring conversations during the Annual Meeting. We gather together, share refreshments, and kick off our conversations with a few key short talks offered by prominent scholars in the field. The bulk of our session together is spent talking in pairs. An invitation to participate in this event each year comes over the listserve; please keep an eye open for it and join us if you can! It is organized each year by the SIG Chair and Program Chair. Please direct any questions about it to them!
