Editorial: A shortage of bilingual teachers threatens goal for a multilingual California (via latimesopinion )
Encouraging students to become multilingual is a major goal of U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona. What a nice change from the days when kids whose first language was not English were seen as problems.
Schools nationwide are challenged by teacher shortages, particularly for specialized fields such as bilingual education. California, similar to other states, has a variety of programs to try to alleviate the dearth of bilingual education teachers, including partnerships with Mexico and Spain.
In recent years, the state has been trying to rebuild its pipeline of certified bilingual teachers destroyed when voters in 1998 approved Proposition 227, which effectively ended bilingual education in the state. Fortunately, Proposition 227 was repealed in 2016, but although that opened up a new avenue for bilingual education in the form of dual language immersion, the damage to teacher development has been done.
An increasing number of California’s high school graduates are earning the state seal of biliteracy on their diplomas — from nearly 24,000 a decade ago when the state first offered the designation to— which recognizes a high level of proficiency in speaking and writing English and one or more languages upon graduation.
The state has taken important steps in coming up with a road map to ensure more students are earning this recognition. Now, they just need the vehicle to follow it.
