Seals of Biliteracy and Other Animals: Celebrating Multilingualism in the Classroom
The United States has evolved from a monolingual nation to a vibrant multilingual powerhouse, and now it's time for Colombia to follow suit. In this webinar, we'll explore how Colombia can embrace the power of multilingualism by adopting proven tools and benchmarks that not only enhance language proficiency but also increase student engagement. Join us as we dive into the world of Seals of Biliteracy, discussing how certifying language growth can both celebrate student achievements and encourage continued progress. Let’s explore how Colombia can become the next multilingual leader by leveraging the right assessment strategies to recognize and celebrate the incredible linguistic accomplishments of students. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the movement toward a multilingual future!
