School Counselor Collaboration with Language Interpreters: Results of a National Survey
Paone, Tina R.; Malott, Krista M.; Maddux, Cleborne
Journal of School Counseling, v8 n13 2010
In an effort to increase knowledge of current school practices with regard to the use of language interpreters, experiences in collaborative work with interpreters were assessed through a national survey. Outcomes indicated a perceived need for more interpreter assistance, with many indicating a need for full-time language services. Bilingual staff members (e.g., secretaries or janitors) were most frequently identified as performing interpreter services. Primary challenges regarding the collaboration included limited interpreter skills or training, interpreter inability to manage emotional session content, and interpreter alteration of counselor commentary or assumption of control of counseling sessions.
