Collaboration and Results in Arkansas
The skills of Professional Interpreters in Education are unique and reflect a perfect combination of medical, legal and community interpretation. We are so proud of the State of Arkansas for providing Interpreters in Education with a professional credential recognized by the Department of Education and Arkansas DHS Division of Child Care and Early Childhood Education. We look forward to training a new group of bilingual school personnel and contract interpreters in 2019 and in 2020 to join the growing network of Professional Interpreters in Education in their State and the nation. Our English Learner families and school districts deserve to have trained and qualified interpreters and SeSo, Inc is thrilled to be part of that process...one state at a time.

Training Bilingual Personnel as Cultural Leaders
|
Professional Interpreters in Education understand the reality of dual roles and oftentimes find themselves in situations where cultural communication must be clarified, before an interpreted message can be heard. We collaborated with school administrators and experienced interpreters to create a skill-building session for interpreters in education, focused on strategies to become a Cultural Leader, foster family involvement and create more welcoming school environments. Please contact
