SALISBURY – A new program recognizes Wicomico County students who demonstrate their proficiency in other languages.
On Tuesday, Ruth Malone, director of curriculum for Wicomico County Public Schools, presented the Wicomico County Board of Education with a new initiative that recognizes students who can demonstrate their proficiency in English and at least one other language.
“The state of Maryland joined much of the country in agreeing to offer a Seal of Biliteracy as an endorsement at the end of a high school career to students who can demonstrate they are proficient in English and another language at, at least an intermediate or high level,” she said. “So districts can elect to offer the Seal of Biliteracy.”
