Dear colleagues,
Our school district is trying to implement a Biliteracy Seal program, where native speakers as well as foreign language students can get Biliteracy Seals on their high school diploma. Has anyone heard of such a program? What are the pros and cons? Pretty much, our county Office of Education is trying to copy a nearby county’s program and adapt it to our school district. They want ESL and foreign language teachers to participate in some committee for this program, in collaboration with the district, etc.
As you can tell, I’m not all that thrilled about the idea, not at the present time, seeing the great advantages of providing such a seal. I might change my mind though after further consideration.
Thanks for any comments, Daniel Hanson Public High School Spanish Teacher Atwater, California, USA
