On Wednesday, July 14th, the House Committee on Appropriations released the draft report for Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education appropriations for Fiscal Year 2022.
 
JNCL-NCLIS has been working closely with Representative Brownley (D-CA-26) on a new strategic pathway to secure funding for subsidizing students' fees for Seal of Biliteracy assessments and provide more equitable access for all learners to earn the distinction. We are pleased to announce that JNCL-NCLIS-supported report language has been successfully included in the full committee report.

While adoption of this report language in a final conference report would not have the force of law, it would demonstrate to states and school districts that Congress values Seal of Biliteracy programs and supports efforts to augment EL and Heritage Language Learners in such programs.

Several additional sections in the House’s report language also represent significant victories for JNCL-NCLIS’ priorities.

Late last week, the House Subcommittee on Defense Appropriations revealed that it’s FY22 spending bill would invest an additional $15 million in the World Language Advancement and Readiness Grants program, matching its funding level in FY21. This is a huge win for JNCL-NCLIS, which spearheaded successful efforts to authorize this program through the National Defense Authorization Act and fund its first round of grants through the FY21 Defense Appropriations Act.

The House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee has already voted to approve this bill, with the full Committee likely voting to approve it soon.

Growing as a Language Educator through the Lens of High-Leverage Teaching Practices

Focus your teaching and improve students’ learning.
