    AAPPL Measures and IPAS I think tests are stupid. A test can't tell you how well I do my job or live my life--or anything you really need to know about me. Now, I'm really good at taking tests, and if you were to look at various test scores I've accumulated in my life, I daresay you'd be impressed with me. But do you know how much bearing the ACT, SAT, or GRE has had on any of my roles since college or grad school application time? Do you know how much impact that Issues in Teaching Foreign Languages or  Masterpieces of Hispanic Art and Literature exam has had on me as a teacher, mother, wife, or friend--or even as a speaker of Spanish?

  • Offering these awards and the seal gives students something to strive for, Garcia said, because it will formally acknowledge their bilingual skills.
  • Students can receive “pathway awards” in third, fifth and eighth grade if they demonstrate skills in two or more languages and are on the path to earning a seal at the end of high school.

      This could be  something for our elementary and middle school dual language students.

  • “Students go through programs where they basically study in two languages, however, they graduate like everyone else and there’s not really a recognition of that,”
  • “This would help existing (dual language) programs give students the recognition they deserve because many of them have been in a program for many years working on these proficiencies…it gives students a reason to become more proficient than just being able to order at a restaurant in French.”
  • mployers and colleges will see the seal and know that student’s bilingual abilities are formally recognized. It gives students a competitive edge.
  • here are nearly 82,000 unfilled jobs nationwide that require bilingual speakers.
  • “(The seal) makes students highly marketable and prepared for any type of opportunity, college or career,”
