The ultimate goals of the series are:

* To support the professional growth of dual language, ESL, and
mainstream educators.
* To facilitate an in-depth discussion of second language teaching
principles, assessment, and methodology in mainstream and dual
language classrooms.
* To foster the exchange of ideas and to provide opportunities for
networking among teachers and leaders across schools.

The fee is $130 for the entire series.
