Why This Matters
In educational settings, interpreters are visible even when communication is not actively taking place. The way we spend downtime, the materials we choose, and the level of awareness we maintain all contribute to how students, teachers, administrators, and families perceive our professionalism. Small decisions can have a significant impact on communication access, district trust, and the credibility of our profession.
