The Association of Two-Way & Dual Language Education - ATDLE- proudly presents, 

We are excited to present the 22nd Annual National Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Conference in Sacramento, CA, June 23-26, 2014 and invite you to join us!  At this annual gathering of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion and Dual Language teachers, administrators, researchers and exhibitors gather for professional training and networking in California. This year we expect to have over 1200 educators in attendance making it our largest conference to date. 

The 22nd Annual National Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Conference will be held at the beautiful Sheraton Grand Hotel Sacramento and the Sacramento Convention Center across the street from the State Capitol Building. Bring your families to enjoy this historic city while you participate in this exciting wor k uniquely designed to support you as a Two-Way and Dual Language educator. You will be joined by TWBI/DL teachers, administrators and presenters from throughout the U.S. Register early and reserve a hotel room today since hotel rooms go quickly for this conference.   You can register for both the conference and the hotel room through the website:  www.atdle.org.

Attending the conference with a school team has proven to be a key planning time for programs allowing programs face time to sit and reflect on their programs, their outcomes and plan the year ahead! Bring your team! Networking time is allocated on the conference schedule and is slated for Wednesday afternoon (see the proposed schedule below)!

This year's conference will have a  special focus  on the Spanish Common Core standards, writing, race, culture and language development and literacy development in both languages. 

We work hard but we also enjoy some down time together.  Your registration pays for the annual Dinner Dance held on Wednesday evening from 6:30-11:00 pm in the Grand Sheraton Sacramento ballroom.  You will receive information about this year's theme after you register.
