DL summit
The University of Illinois at Chicago held a statewide summit on dual language education on SATURDAY, JUNE 8 from 10:00 am-1:00 pm.
We chose the University of Illinois at Chicago because it is located closest to the greatest number of dual language programs in the state.
This event was generously co-supported by the Polish Studies Program at Loyola University Chicago, the American Reading Company, and Dual Language Education of New Mexico.
We expect to release a report by December 2019.
