The introduction of the Seal of Biliteracy (SoBL) has presented a potent opportunity for community heritage language schools to credential the heritage language proficiency of their students in a U.S. context. This study explores the involvement of community heritage language schools in the SoBL initiative. It investigates how seven heritage language school administrators view the SoBL, what they see as its potential benefits, and what barriers they see to its full implementation. Results show that despite many potential benefits for community‐based schools, factors such as the status of the language in the wider community, a lack of articulation with local high schools, uneven parental power, and a lack of appropriate assessments, present barriers to full implementation. The paper concludes with suggestions for how to address these barriers and hopes to provide a roadmap for future collaboration between SoBL administrators and heritage language schools.

认证遗产：社区遗产语言学校在实施双语印章中的作用

双语印章 (SoBL) 的引入为社区传统语言学校提供了一个有效的机会，可以证明其学生在美国背景下的传统语言能力。本研究探讨了社区遗产语言学校在 SoBL 计划中的参与。它调查了七位传统语言学校管理人员如何看待 SoBL，他们认为其潜在好处是什么，以及他们认为全面实施的障碍。结果表明，尽管社区学校有许多潜在的好处，但诸如语言在更广泛社区中的地位、与当地高中缺乏联系、父母权力不均以及缺乏适当的评估等因素，都构成了获得充分学习的障碍。执行。
