In 1996, teachers from Dolores Gonzales Elementary School organized the first La Cosecha Dual Language Conference with a mission to network and share best practices. This first event hosted 86 educators from across Albuquerque. This national conference brings together the largest gathering of educators, parents, researchers, and practitioners supporting dual language, two-way immersion, one-way developmental bilingual, and one-way heritage language immersion programs from across the US. 

 

La Cosecha is the largest dual language conference in the country and in 2022 hosted 3,163 total participants representing 41 states, plus Washington, DC, and 7 countries.

La Cosecha 2023 will bring together educators, parents, researchers, and practitioners supporting dual language enrichment programs from across the U.S.  in a hybrid event, featuring both virtual and in-person participation! La Cosecha Conference offers you the unique opportunity to share best practices and resources, current theory and practice,  build networks, and fuel our community's efforts to build a better future for our children as we “harvest” the best of our multilingual and multicultural communities.
