The Oregon Seal of Biliteracy recognizes high levels of academic proficiency in two languages. ince 2012, Corvallis educators and students have laid the groundwork and advocated for a statewide adoption of this recognition. In 2015, the Oregon Department of Education convened several meetings to align instructional standards and adopt a pilot program at the state level. Corvallis is one of eight school districts that awarded the first official Oregon Seal of Biliteracy to student graduates in the class of 2015.

Lead teacher Amanda Filloy Sharp teaches Dual Immersion Spanish at Corvallis High School and oversees the Bilingual Seal program. “The state-wide adoption of a Seal of Biliteracy is a huge step in recognizing the high level of academic proficiency these students are achieving. Our entire country needs to move towards biliteracy. It provides us with a deeper understanding of self and of other people, and fosters a more culturally sensitive perspective.” What makes the Seal of Biliteracy unique is that students must demonstrate cultural competency and develop a portfolio of reading, writing, listening, and speaking in two languages. Part of that portfolio includes completing ten hours of bilingual community service work and writing about that experience. There are multiple paths for Corvallis students to achieve this bilingual proficiency but most have participated in the K-12 Dual Immer-

sion program. Most Corvallis graduates are bilingual in Spanish and many of these students have been enrolled in the Corvallis Dual Immersion program since kindergarten. The goals of the DLI program include developing high levels of proficiency in the student’s first language and a second language and demonstrating positive cross-cultural attitudes and behavior. Superintendent Erin Prince acknowledges the high level of achievement of these students. “Corvallis is leading the way in preparing bilingual students to make great contributions in college, career, and their community. Educators, community leaders, and business leaders alike understand that biliteracy adds great value to our community and the workforce. We are proud of our students receiving the Oregon Biliteracy Seal and congratulate them on their achievement.”
