20th Annual National Two-Way Bilingual Immersion Conference
Looking Back to Move Forward in TWBI/DL Education
JUNE 27 - JUNE 30, 2012 • MARRIOTT NEWPORT BEACH HOTEL & SPA • NEWPORT BEACH, CA
I. An Invitation to Present
Two-Way CABE, an affiliate of the California Association for Bilingual Education (CABE), invites you to submit a proposal to be a presenter at the 20th Annual National Two Way Bilingual Immersion Conference to be held June 27 to June 30, 2012 in Newport Beach, California. The conference is a unique professional development opportunity for Two Way Bilingual Immersion and Dual Language teachers to gather, study research, learn new practices and network with other programs from throughout the U.S.

The 20th TWBI National Conference has been designed this summer to allow teachers, lead teachers, site and district level administrators the opportunity to study and revisit the program components that create Programs of Excellence and learn new strategies to ensure that the Two Way Bilingual Immersion programs are successful for all students. We believe in powerful teaching of both languages!

It is our hope that new and veteran teachers will have opportunities to learn from some of the best and brightest TWBI /DL teachers in the country. It is critical for all presenters to reference and understand the basic elements outlined in the Guiding Principles of Two Way Immersion (an executive summary is linked on this website) as part of your presentation and that the teacher presenters have experience working in successful TWBI/DL classrooms or schools.

Upon acceptance of the proposal, ONE presenter will receive complimentary registration for the regular conference. Additional presenters must register and pay the appropriate fees.
II. Deadline for Submission - March 1, 2012
Workshop proposals for 2-Way CABE 2012 must be submitted by Thursday, March 1, 2012. The on-line submission link will close as of March 1, 2012. Proposals received after the deadline will be held as "alternates" to be reviewed at a later date on a space available basis.

All correspondence will be addressed via e-mail to the contact person listed as the First Presenter on the Proposal form. It is the responsibility of the First Presenter to share information with any co-presenters. Notification of proposal status will be received by April 1, 2012.
