Bilingual Authorization

1.1 The Department of Education is proud to offer a Bilingual Authorization in Spanish to Multiple and Single Subject

candidates. The Bilingual Authorization, previously known as the BCLAD, authorizes teachers to provide the following instruction:

• • Content instruction delivered in Spanish

  • Instruction for Spanish Language Development for Spanish Learners

  • Instruction for English Language Development for English Learners

  • Specially Designed Academic Instruction Delivered in English (SDAIE)

We require our Multiple Subject BMATTC candidates to complete their practicum in a bilingual student reaching placement. Field Coordinators work with BMATTC candidates to secure a bilingual student teaching placement that meets the requirement. Student teaching placement in a Single Subject bilingual classroom is not always possible because bilingual instruction has historically taken place in elementary schools.
