Dual Language Education

What Dual Language Education does

DLeNM is a private non-profit educational organization founded in 1996 and headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The organization supports the development, implementation, and sustainability of PreK-12 dual language bilingual education programs through three integrated channels: the FUENTE365 online professional development platform (24/7 access to instructional videos, articles, and programmatic resources), the La Cosecha annual conference (the largest dual language conference in the United States, established 1996), and direct consulting services to districts and schools. Its service portfolio includes specialized programs such as CLAVES®, the AIM4S³™ Math Framework, and OCDE Project GLAD®, plus the DLeNM Chant Bank of downloadable chants, poems, and songs, the Soleado quarterly newsletter, the Mitote Podcast, and an Indigenous Language Support program with a dedicated La Cosecha revitalization strand.

Revenue is generated through FUENTE365 annual subscriptions ($129 individual, $549 institutional for up to 5 schools, district pricing on contact for 6+ schools), La Cosecha conference registration fees (with subscriber discounts), direct consulting engagements to districts and schools, foundation grants from W.K. Kellogg, Thornburg, McCune Children Foundation, and Santa Fe Community Foundation, and e-commerce bookstore sales. Customers span school districts and LEAs, individual dual language educators and administrators, families and community members, and Indigenous communities; operations are concentrated in New Mexico but reach nationally through La Cosecha and partnerships with NABE, TESOL, CAL, CABE, OELA, Project GLAD, BUENO Center, ATDLE, and state agencies including BMEAC/NMPED and Indian Education/NMPED.
