What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an educational sign language interpreter, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Educational Sign Language Interpreter, you need fluency in American Sign Language (ASL), a thorough understanding of educational terminology, and typically an associate's or bachelor's degree in interpreting or a related field. Mastery of video relay systems, familiarity with assistive listening devices, and possession of certifications such as the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) or Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) are highly valued.

What does an educational sign language interpreter do?

An educational sign language interpreter works with deaf students to help them function and communicate in a mainstream classroom. Your responsibilities as an educational sign language interpreter are to assist deaf students with understanding and responding to their teachers and classmates using American Sign Language (ASL). You may also interpret for your student, discuss learning materials and lessons with teachers, and update teachers, parents, and the school with each student’s progress. Your duties may also include hosting assemblies or meetings to encourage other students and faculty to become more fluent in ASL. These positions are usually in school districts during regular school hours.
