CONFERENCES
As the dual language immersion (DLI) program grows, it will be important to continue to support the knowledge base of those who are supporting and/or implementing the DLI program. Professional development is available through many educational conferences held across the school year for teachers and district/site administrators working in DLI programs.
These conferences include:- California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE): Annual Conference (www.gocabe.org)
- Dual Language Education New Mexico (DLeNM): La Cosecha (www.dlenm.org)
- Association of Two-Way and Dual Language Education (ATDLE): (www.atdle.org)
- Center for Advanced Research in Language Acquisition (CARLA): Annual Conference (www.carla.umn.edu)
- National Association for Bilingual Education (NABE): Annual Conference (www.nabe.org)
