A roadmap for enhancing students' equitable access to biliteracy development

Monolingual ideologies have driven US educational policy for centuries. Despite the benefits of multilingualism, policies have often prioritized English and reduced children's access to their home languages. The Seal of Biliteracy is a language education policy that recognizes students' proficiency in two languages as a mechanism for nurturing students' bilingualism and growing the United States' multilingual capacity. Since its inception, the Seal of Biliteracy has become a national program that has been extended into elementary and middle schools as pathway awards-benchmarks signaling that younger students are on the pathway to receiving the Seal of Biliteracy.
