Ohio TESOL

Ohio TESOL is excited to announce the theme for our 2026 conference: Roots & Rising: Cultivating Systems of Support. At a time when educators are navigating change, uncertainty, and evolving needs within our schools and communities, this theme reflects our shared commitment to growth, resilience, and collaboration. Together, we will explore how strong foundations, meaningful partnerships, and innovative practices help sustain and uplift multilingual learners and the educators who support them. This year's conference will focus on building connections across PK--12, Higher Education, Adult Education, Teacher Education, Advocacy, and community partnerships. Through engaging sessions, collaborative discussions, and inspiring keynote presentations, participants will have opportunities to reflect, learn, and grow alongside colleagues from across Ohio and beyond.
