Your Bilingual Help, or a Trained Interpreter?
Designed as deliberate practice for bilingual paras and anyone working alongside them: some language moments are yours to help with, and some are moments where a family's understanding is what is at stake. Quick reps — read the moment, make the call, see the why.
The categories
- Your bilingual help fits — An everyday exchange where getting the meaning across is the whole job — logistics, a direction, a warm hello. Being clear about what you can and can't speak to is part of doing it well.
- Get a trained interpreter — A moment where the family's understanding carries weight — consent, rights, discipline, health — and where an untrained go-between puts the family, the student, and you at risk.
