The Bilingual Authorization in Spanish (BILA) is an added authorization that prepares you to teach in bilingual, dual-immersion, and 双语 classrooms from TK–12th grade. It can be added onto a preliminary or clear 多个主题, 单一的主题, or 教育专家 教学证书. It can also be combined with an 教学硕士.
In our Bilingual Authorization program, you will develop the capacity to teach in a way that honors and builds onto the linguistic resources that bilingual students bring to the classroom to enhance their language, 读写能力, and content learning in Spanish and English.

● Centering the experiences of students and families who have historically been marginalized in the education system
● Understanding language and 读写能力 development as sociocultural processes
● Creating rigorous learning experiences with responsive and differentiated support for students

Earning a Bilingual Authorization will prepare you to build on students’ linguistic resources to support their learning in two languages.
California needs bilingual teachers! Districts statewide are now expanding their bilingual, 双语, and dual-immersion programs in elementary, 中间, 还有高中. Bilingual programs enhance students’ learning across the content areas and graduate students who are bilingual and biliterate and have the cultural competency to engage across differences. By 2030, California has set a goal that half of our K–12 students will participate in programs leading to proficiency in two or more languages. Because bilingual teachers are in high demand, many districts offer additional stipends to teachers with Bilingual Authorizations.
