How can schools transform linguistic diversity into a competitive advantage? This session provides a comprehensive walkthrough of supporting students through the state and global Seal of Biliteracy application processes.
Using Heritage High School as a case study, presenters will detail how to build sustainable systems that empower significant populations of multilingual and first-generation students to earn the Seal of Biliteracy. We will cover the "Who, How, and Why" of the program, moving from initial identification to the final award application. Attendees will walk away with a strategic roadmap, including ready-to-use templates and implementation examples to scale these programs effectively at their own sites.
