2. The Language and Inclusion Summit envisions the true realization of inclusion in education by placing a premium on the richness of our language and celebrating the diversity of our country. It will present action points and recommendations from the Language and Inclusion Pre-Summit held on May 4-5, 2023, and will feature plenary sessions, panel discussions, presentations, and exhibits that aim to promote a better understanding of the role of language in promoting inclusion and literacy.
