Interpreter in school — a conversation about interpretation in the school system

DigitalTolk invites you to talk about interpretation within the school system. The discussion is based on Västerholm School and how they work with interpretation.

Among other things, the following questions are answered:

• In what ways do you think interpretation can help improve students' school performance and well-being?
• Can you give some examples of situations where the lack of available interpreters has negatively affected cooperation between the school and parents?
• What efforts can schools make to reduce any hesitancy of parents to use interpreters and foster a positive attitude towards it?
• How can schools work with interpreter agencies to ensure that interpreter services are easily accessible and of high quality when they are needed?
