Professional Conferences
These are regional, national and international professional conferences that include a wide range of program overview, program implementation and professional development presentations, workshops and symposiums designed to support dual language education.
DLeNM highly recommends that each dual language educator be supported in attending at least one of these professional conferences each school year. Participating allows educators to network, reflect and to keep their instruction “fresh”.
Note: Many of the hosting organizations also offer professional memberships designed to strengthen much needed networking, advocacy, and best practice share in the bilingual and dual language education community.
