New TWBI/DLI Teacher Symposium
July 26 – 28, 2021

ATDLE is organizing a 2.5-day symposium for teachers new to TWBI/DLI Education this coming fall.  With over 30 years of experience working with TWBI/DLI programs throughout the country, our team will help initiate all new TWBI/DLI teachers to the program elements of Two-Way Bilingual Immersion and Dual Language programs.  We understand that new teachers are not on board until after July 1, 2021, we scheduled this symposium to allow your teachers time to get set for the upcoming school year.
