Roles & Responsibilities
This Roles & Responsibilities webpage demonstrates my knowledge of the roles and responsibilities of the educational team. On this page, I provide three common roles and responsibilities enacted by a school interpreter (C3). Additionally, I provide the roles and responsibilities enacted by other members of the education team (C4). I explain the members of the educational team, including the school interpreter, based on their historical, legal, and social foundations (C1) as well as how the roles support the educational system and who is served by their actions.
