Biliteracy Seals in a Large Urban District in New Mexico: Who Earns Them and How Do They Impact College Outcomes? Study Snapshot. REL 2023-140
Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest
This study snapshot highlights key findings from a study that examined who earns biliteracy seals in a large urban district in New Mexico and how they impact college outcomes. New Mexico is one of 48 states that offer a biliteracy seal to high school graduates to recognize their proficiency in a non-English language. The Regional Educational Laboratory Southwest English Learners Research Partnership collaborated with a large urban district in New Mexico to study the characteristics and college readiness of students who earn different types of biliteracy seals (state, district, and global seals) and whether earning a seal improves college outcomes. The study used data from three cohorts of grade 12 students in the district from 2017/18 to 2019/20. The New Mexico Public Education Department and district leaders can use the findings to decide how to expand access to biliteracy seals. [For the full report, see ED624239.
