The MLRC Research Symposia are two-day in-person workshops focused on 1) evidence about teaching multilingual learners and 2) designing action research projects. After the workshop, teams receive ongoing synchronous and asynchronous virtual support from the MLRC and from their fellow participants as they engage in action research projects to explore problems of practice in the local context.
