SEAL | The Power of Bilingual & Dual Language Education

This video explores the power of bilingualism and dual language education and why it is essential for teachers, school leaders, and communities committed to advancing multilingual learners. Educators will learn how bilingual and dual language programs: Improve academic outcomes—students in bilingual programs outperform peers in English-only programs by middle and high school. Build biliteracy and cultural identity, helping students maintain their home language while mastering English. Strengthen brain development and cognitive flexibility, especially when started in the early years (ages 0–8). Expand future opportunities, from earning the Seal of Biliteracy to greater career access in a global workforce. Create more inclusive and equitable classrooms, where students’ languages and cultures are recognized as assets. The video also traces California’s journey from Proposition 227, which restricted bilingual education, to Proposition 58, which reaffirmed the state’s commitment to multilingualism and biliteracy for all. For teachers and education leaders, this is both a call to action and a roadmap: to invest in bilingual pathways, advocate for dual language programs, and ensure every child graduates prepared for a multilingual future. 👉 Learn more about SEAL’s mission and resources at www.seal.org © 2018 SEAL (Sobrato Early Academic Language).
