Official Babble - States encourage bilingualism with diploma seals

States encourage bilingualism with diploma seals - Yahoo News

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — When Rachel Martinez-Regan graduated from Corvallis High School this month, her diploma had a little something extra — an embossed seal certifying that she is bilingual.

She is one of more than a dozen students at the Oregon high school who earned the distinction based on their proficiency in English and Spanish. The honor is part of a pilot project led by several school districts in the state with dual-language programs, and the Oregon Department of Education plans to make the bilingual seals available statewide next year.
California, New Mexico, Washington, Illinois and Louisiana are among the other states that are recognizing and rewarding bilingual education.
Martinez-Regan said the bilingual program was academically challenging but she's certain it will give her career plans a boost.
