Bilingual Assessment

The Bilingual Assessment is only for candidates seeking to earn the bilingual component of the endorsement. A cadre of native and near-native speaker specialists in targeted languages assess candidates in a written and oral exam. The written exam assesses language necessary for teaching academic content and understanding of cultural practices specific to that language. The oral exam assesses the candidate's ability to discuss professional goals, views on and knowledge of instructional practice, experiences with a target culture, classroom experiences, and content area subjects.
