Biliteracy Recognition Program
Biliteracy Recognition Program
The Biliteracy Pathway Recognition Pathways are established to recognize preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and middle school students who have demonstrated progress toward proficiency in speaking, listening, reading, and writing in one or more languages in addition to English.
Additional Purposes:
To encourage students to study languages, continue their language study, and become multilingual.
To raise awareness about the State Seal of Biliteracy requirements and ensure that multilingual students have the information they need to meet these requirements and earn the State Seal of Biliteracy upon graduation from high school.
To certify progress toward biliteracy.
To prepare students with twenty-first century skills.
To recognize and promote world language instruction in public schools.
To strengthen intergroup relationships, affirm the value of diversity, and honor the multiple cultures, histories, and languages of a community.
To implement principles one and four of the English Learner (EL) Roadmap Policy by creating an aligned and articulated pathway to multilingualism that embraces students’ home and community languages and cultures as assets.
More information about the California State Seal of Biliteracy is available on the California Department of Education (CDE) State Seal of Biliteracy web page.
