The La Cosecha conference brings together "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."

Two College of Education doctoral students presented research at the 2023 conference: Elizabeth Llorca, language, literacy, and culture, and Yokaira López-Tifa, children, families, and schools.

Llorca presented "Perceptions of a Special Education Teacher in a Dual Language Program." 

López-Tifa presented "The Uniqueness of becoming a Bilingual Teacher and Challenges in the Classroom: A Case Study."

Congratulations!
