More students are graduating from Springfield Public Schools with a Seal of Biliteracy than ever before.
On May 14, 96 students received their Seal of Biliteracy or Distinguished Seal of Biliteracy award. To earn the seal, students took the AAPPL language proficiency exam and scored Intermediate or higher in reading, listening, writing and speaking a world language. With a high enough score, students can earn up to 18 credits of world language at participating Missouri universities which recognize the Missouri Seal of Biliteracy.
"While students who are learning English were recognized by four of our five high schools, we hope to expand the opportunities for ELs to be recognized for their crucial skills and bilingual ability," said Rachel Love-Jones, world language curriculum coordinator. "For students learning Spanish, French, and other languages here at SPS, it is the dedication and enthusiasm of their teachers which creates the environment for student to thrive."
