Description

Two students speak about what it means to earn a Seal of Biliteracy. The Ohio Seal of Biliteracy requires that a student received a sustained measurement of at least Intermediate High or a score of "4" or higher on the AP World Language and Culture exam. Students who fail to achieve the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy can be recognized through the Global Seal of Biliteracy with a rating of “Functional Fluency.” The Global Seal of Biliteracy can be achieved through similar means, but recognition of "Functional Fluency" can be granted to a student with a demonstrated proficiency of Intermediate Mid or a score of "3" on the AP World Langauge and Culture exam. Students who receive the higher rating will not only get the Ohio Seal of Biliteracy but also the recognition of "Working Fluency" through the Global Seal of Biliteracy program; therefore, double seal recognition will be awarded to these students. Both programs also require that a student receive at least a proficient rating in Language Arts on the ACT or SAT examinations to be deemed "biliterate."

Students enrolled in an AP World Language course will now have access to college credit and permanent recognition of their literacy skills. Therefore, those who continue taking a language beyond three years have full access to one on the Seal of Biliteracy. Our vision is to help students recognize the value of their academic success and see the tangible benefits of being bilingual. Recognition of Seal of Biliteracy will permanently appear on the transcript of the graduating senior and is a statement of accomplishment for future employers and college admissions.
