Assessment and accountability in dual language programs must go beyond isolated test scores. Strong dual language leaders use multiple measures across both English and Spanish to understand students’ biliteracy development, monitor EL proficiency growth, and ensure students are on track toward long-term outcomes such as the State Seal of Biliteracy. In this session, participants will examine how Back of the Yards College Preparatory High School, a CPS dual language high school and one of the top three high schools in the district with the highest number of State Seal of Biliteracy recipients, uses assessment data intentionally to monitor student progress across languages and strengthen pathways toward biliteracy. Participants will explore practical tools for reviewing ACCESS proficiency data, Spanish language assessment data, course performance, and Seal of Biliteracy indicators in order to identify trends, plan supports, and advance stronger outcomes for multilingual learners.
