Illinois was one of the first states to offer the Seal of Biliteracy, and we are highlighted in this new EdWeek article for having "led the way in terms of ensuring English learners equitably access" the valuable Seal. Here, more than half of our Seal recipients have been English learners. The Seal counts toward college credit at all public colleges and universities, and toward language proficiency requirements for teacher certification. https://okt.to/D39Vmf

More pics from ISBE's #YoungProfessionals Day. Our junior staff members participated in a virtual staff meeting, explored departments through a scavenger hunt, and, in general, found out what their family members do to help students across Illinois.

For too long, Illinois’ restrictive definition of proficiency has asked students to jump over hurdles that are higher than those faced by students in almost all other states and have mislabeled students who are ready for college and career as “not proficient.” To address that issue, we have launched an initiative to strengthen our assessment system and give us more accurate information about student success. We are now recruiting educators who have experience with the Illinois Learning Standards, such as teaching, coaching, and/or curriculum development, to participate in working groups during the upcoming school year. The groups will help us develop profiles of proficiency, also known as performance level descriptors (PLDs), that will serve as the foundation for establishing new performance levels and cut scores for each of our general education content assessments of English language arts, math, and science across all administered grade levels 3-11. The realigned benchmarks for proficiency will provide clear and consistent messaging to students, families, educators, and communities about how students in Illinois are performing and how assessment results should be interpreted. PLD writing teams will meet virtually approximately twice a month from September through February during after-school hours. Eligible participants will earn up to 24 continuing professional development hours. Interested? You can apply here: https://okt.to/NRKMZJ
