The conference took place at the Mohonk Mountain House on Sunday, April 17 to Tuesday, April 19. 10 Dalton teachers participated in workshops, cultural lessons, and interactive lectures on topics ranging from social justice in the language classroom to the incorporation of technology in teaching languages to students of all ages.
