"Education unlocks lifelong opportunities, and by law every child in the Unites States has the right to a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. This education right is guaranteed by the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, by the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142) of 1975, and by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 2004 (IDEA). A highly qualified educational team is essential for students who are deaf and hard of hearing to build their futures in the K-12 classrooms of today. Identified as Related Services Personnel, educational interpreters are key members of the educational team for students who rely on sign language interpretation. Interpreting is complex and multifaceted, and the complexity increases when the task involves students in their day-to-day public education. Like other students in the school, each student who accesses the general curriculum through an educational interpreter is a unique person with his or her own background, ways of interacting and learning, interests, and vision of who he or she wants to become. Educational interpreters who have mastered general interpreting competencies also must acquire specialized competencies to become integrated members of the educational team. In addition, educational interpreters must understand their role in support of students who are deaf and hard of hearing, to include providing access to communication outside of classroom instruction, such as conversations with friends during lunch and extra-curricular activities. They must also understand the roles undertaken by other members of the educational team such as school audiologists and career counselors (Antia et al., 2011; Fitzmaurice, 2017; La Bue, 1998; Marschark et a l., 2005a, 2005b; Patrie & Taylor, 2007; Russell & Winston, 2014; Winston, 2004; Wolbers et al., 2012), and school interpreters must know how to effectively interface with others in the school who support and interact with students who are deaf and hard of hearing. In 2004, the reauthorization of the IDEA identified educational interpreting as one of 11 primary categories of Related Services Personnel such as school nurses and speech pathologists needed to support students with special needs. Four decades of research and federal actions regarding interpreting in K-12 settings have resulted in a body of evidence which demonstrates that educational interpreters, like other Related Services Personnel, are professionals who should be required to have, at minimum: 1. Academic credentials—a rigorous four-year preservice program that leads to mastery of specific knowledge sets and interpreting skills related to K-12 students; 2. Professional credentials—demonstrated and documented knowledge sets and interpreting skills relevant to working with K-12 students; 3. Continuing education—a commitment to ongoing professional development in the field of educational interpreting; and 4. Supervision and accountability system—a defined assessment and evaluation system to monitor the quality of services provided. The first and second foundations—academic and professional credentials—are required before interpreters are hired. The third and fourth foundations—continued professional development, and supervision and accountability systems—are most applicable once they are working interpreters, especially as employees of a school system."--

"Research on the role space of educational interpreters has historically focused on descriptions of tasks educational interpreters are engaged in during their work day. This case study uses role theory to examine the perceptions of administrators and teachers on the role space of educational interpreters.Through a series of qualitative interviews with 17 state administrators, district administrators, school administrators, general education teachers and teachers of the deaf, and a statewide questionnaire with 18 respondents the perceptions of the role space of educational interpreters in South Carolina are examined. Data from interviews and questionnaire responses are analyzed to determine common themes contributing to role ambiguity, role conflict and role overload for educational interpreters.Factors contributing to different perceptions among administrators and teachers include: the role metaphor ascribed to the educational interpreter; the status of the educational interpreter in the school system; definitions of who is perceived to be responsible for the education of deaf students; and whether the school district is in an urban or rural area.Findings reveal the perceptions of administrators and teachers in the educational system set the stage for a series of role conflicts and subsequent role overload for educational interpreters. Implications and some concrete future direction to making educational interpreting more effective are discussed." -- Abstract

While educational interpreting has been studied for decades, the research has historically focused on the tasks educational interpreters are engaged in during their work day. In The Role of the Educational Interpreter, Stephen B. Fitzmaurice takes a new approach using role theory to examine how administrators and teachers perceive the role and work of educational (K-12) interpreters. Through a series of qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires with district administrators, school administrators, general education teachers, and teachers of the deaf, Fitzmaurice documents their perceptions of educational interpreters. Findings from the data reveal the perceptions of administrators and teachers set the stage for role ambiguity, role conflicts, and subsequent role overload for educational interpreters. Fitzmaurice elaborates on the implications of the research, and also provides concrete recommendations for researchers and practitioners, including an emphasis on the importance of involving the Deaf community in this work. This volume aims to offer clarity on the role of the educational interpreter, and dispel the confusion and conflicts created by divergent perspectives. A shared understanding of the role of the educational interpreter will allow administrators, teachers, and interpreters to work collaboratively to improve educational outcomes for deaf students.

This incisive book explores the current state of educational interpreting and how it is failing deaf students. The contributors, all renowned experts in their field, include former educational interpreters, teachers of deaf students, interpreter trainers, and deaf recipients of interpreted educations. Educational Interpreting presents the salient issues in three distinct sections. Part 1 focuses on deaf students--their perspectives on having interpreters in the classroom, the language myths that surround them, the accessibility of language to them, and their cognition. Part 2 raises questions about the support and training that interpreters receive from the school systems, the qualifications that many interpreters bring to an interpreted education, and the accessibility of everyday classrooms for deaf students placed in such environments. Part 3 presents a few of the possible suggestions for addressing the concerns of interpreted educations, and focuses primarily on the interpreter. The contributors discuss the need to (1) define the core knowledge and skills interpreters must have and (2) develop standards of practice and assessment. They also stress that interpreters cannot effect the necessary changes alone; unless and until administrators, parents, teachers, and students recognize the inherent issues of access to education through mediation, little will change for deaf students.

This book provides a theoretical and pragmatic guide to the use of situated learning within structured interpreting programs. Proponents of situated learning theory believe that meaningful learning occurs when students interact with others in the social contexts in which they will be working. With such interactions, students have the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge to authentic contexts that they will encounter throughout their professional lives. While a limited number of research articles exist about the use of situated learning in interpreter education, this is the first full book to provide the foundations for situated learning theory, show how to implement situated learning in interpreter education, and offer practical applications for maximizing authenticity in interpreting classrooms.

Educational interpreters nationwide fill a variety of roles in their schools, including interpreter, tutor, assistant, consultant, and others, and the impact of these roles on the interpretation of classroom discourse is uncertain. In order to provide deaf students with the free appropriate public education they are promised through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, we need to know more about the roles educational interpreters are filling and their impact on a deaf student's access to the classroom discourse. This study was a quantitative study using naturalistic observation of a high school classroom with a deaf student and an interpreter, augmented with qualitative data from interviews with the interpreter, deaf student, and teacher participants. In examining the different roles filled during the class observed, the interpreter in this study filled the interpreter role during only 41.41% of the intervals analyzed. In all, 35.68% of the intervals were interpreted while 39.78% of the teacher's discourse was not interpreted. Less than 20% of the teachers' discourse was interpreted while in any role other than interpreter. During the days observed, the interpreter in this study spent more time tutoring rather than interpreting the classroom discourse even though she was not required to do any tutoring. In this study, communication access seems to have been impacted by the interpreter filling multiple roles in the classroom, particularly the tutor role. Knowing the importance of social communication in language development, and thus cognitive development, the roles interpreters fill in the classroom, as well as the placement of the deaf student in an inclusion class, should be carefully examined.

More the 1.46 million people in the United States have hearing losses in sufficient severity to be considered deaf; another 21 million people have other hearing impairments. For many deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, sign language and voice interpreting is essential to their participation in educational programs and their access to public and private services. However, there is less than half the number of interpreters needed to meet the demand, interpreting quality is often variable, and there is a considerable lack of knowledge of factors that contribute to successful interpreting. Perhaps it is not surprising, then, that a study by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) found that 70% of the deaf individuals are dissatisfied with interpreting quality. Because recent legislation in the United States and elsewhere has mandated access to educational, employment, and other contexts for deaf individuals and others with hearing disabilities, there is an increasing need for quality sign language interpreting. It is in education, however, that the need is most pressing, particularly because more than 75% of deaf students now attend regular schools (rather than schools for the deaf), where teachers and classmates are unable to sign for themselves. In the more than 100 interpreter training programs in the U.S. alone, there are a variety of educational models, but little empirical information on how to evaluate them or determine their appropriateness in different interpreting and interpreter education-covering what we know, what we do not know, and what we should know. Several volumes have covered interpreting and interpreter education, there are even some published dissertations that have included a single research study, and a few books have attempted to offer methods for professional interpreters or interpreter educators with nods to existing research. This is the first volume that synthesizes existing work and provides a coherent picture of the field as a whole, including evaluation of the extent to which current practices are supported by validating research. It will be the first comprehensive source, suitable as both a reference book and a textbook for interpreter training programs and a variety of courses on bilingual education, psycholinguistics and translation, and cross-linguistic studies.
