California Language Teachers’
Association
You are Simply Amazing!
Our 2023 Annual Conference in Visalia, California was wonderful experience. It was truly a pleasure to be back in person after 3 long years. We rekindled old friendships and made many new ones. We successfully launched the Hal Wingard Inspirational Leadership Endowment, paid tribute to our dear Carol Sparks, honored our Teacher of the Year and other Outstanding Educators, initiated an Advocacy/Affiliate partnership, trained a new cohort of CALLI Leaders, and convened an outstanding professional experience for California’s World Language educators–YOU!
If you missed our conference, you will have another statewide opportunity to connect with your colleagues in the coming year–stay tuned for more information…
CLTA is YOUR organization and it’s our MEMBERS who make it great!
