OBEMLA (Office of Bilingual Education and Minority Languages ) and NABE 2000 were held in San Antonio, TX on February 15th -19th.
It was NABE's largest conference ever, with appoximately 7000 people in attendance. We had the opportunity to visit select schools
within the SAISD and to attend a great viariety of bilingual workshops. Some well- known contributors to bilingual education were
also there to speak and sign books, posters and music. Some of these were: Jim Cummins, Ontario Inst. for Studies in Education, Canada;
Stephen Krashen, University of Southern California; authors Alma Flor Ada, Del Sol Publications; Lada Kratky, Hampton Brown Books;
singer and song writers F. Isabel Campoy, Del Sol Publications; Jose Luis Orozco; and painter and illustrator Simón Silva.
Besides seeing old acquaintences, we made many new ones from all over the country. Hope to see you all again someday!
