Bilingual Certification
The resources below are designed to equip educators with supports in preparation for the bilingual education supplemental 164 exam as well as prepare educators to serve emergent bilingual students in the classroom.
Vietnamese Connections support for teachers preparing to take the Bilingual Vietnamese Oral Proficiency Interview, ACTFL and the Bilingual Vietnamese Writing Proficiency Test.
The resources for the 190 Bilingual Target Proficiency Test engage the participant in a hybrid model of instruction which includes the opportunity to participate in activities with peers to enhance their understanding and skill set for Listening Comprehension, Oral Expression, Reading Comprehension, and Written Expression.
This self-assessment is designed to help potential cohort participants gauge their approximate level of general academic Spanish language proficiency before they enroll in the 190 preparation class. The goal is for participants to self-assess if they can effectively benefit from this preparation class and make informed decisions about next steps if they are not ready.
