Roles & Responsibilities
This Roles & Responsibilities webpage demonstrates my knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the educational team. On this page, I provide four common roles and responsibilities enacted by a school interpreter (C8) - interpreting including sight translating, tutoring, and aiding. Additionally, I provide the roles and responsibilities enacted by other members of the education team (C2). I explain the members of the educational team, including the school interpreter, based on their historical, legal, and social foundations as well as how the roles support the educational system and who is served by their actions.
School Interpreting Series (SIS) Standards
SIS Competency 8
Implement appropriate school-identified roles and responsibilities, in addition to interpreting, based on specific student needs, under the guidance of assigned school personnel.

This page includes the roles and responsibilities for:​
School Interpreter
[Add an introductory paragraph summarizing why school interpreters have multiple roles. Consider a statement like "School Interpreters / I don't just interpret" or the fallacy of "I'm just the interpreter" in educational settings. Also consider Fitzmaurice's (2021) book from INTR 432 in this discussion of the roles of the school interpreter.]

Overarching Reflection
[Add overarching reflection: Explain what you learn about yourself as both a person and a professional by creating, revising, and compiling the content of this webpage. Where are your strengths and how will these strengths benefit you in your future or current school interpreting work? Where are your shortcoming and how will these shortcomings challenge you in your future or current work? How have you grown in the stated SIS Competencies? Who and what contributed the most to this learning and in what ways? Where do you go from here both in the short- and long-term?
If you have received peer or instructor feedback on this webpage or it's artifacts, summarize the feedback. Explain how the feedback impacts the webpage / artifacts and, ultimately, your possession of the stated SIS Competencies, your journey in school interpreting, and your employability and professional brand as a school interpreter. Outline steps you have taken and/or steps you need to take (and when) to make this a showcase webpage / artifacts.]
