Beyond Spanish!

The National Association of Educational Translators and Interpreters of Spoken Languages (NAETISL) continues to grow and expand its reach! A new committee is forming to include the voices and representation of interpreters and translators of languages other than Spanish. In exchange for actively participating in this committee, NAETISL is offering a free annual membership (a $60 value!) that entitles the member to discounts on professional development sessions and more. An information session will take place via Zoom on Sat. 11/6/21, at 2 PM PST / 4 PM CST / 5 PM ET. For more information, please email naetislbeyondspanish@gmail.com

Voices From the Field

In this section, we highlight YOU, our emergent bilingual families, interpreters, translators and school representatives and the impact that clear communication had in your journeys.

Maureen Davis, Parent Liaison, CO): “I am using your Code of Ethics to train some of our bilingual personnel who help with interpretation. It is refreshing to have this guide to help with our work! We can't wait to get certified and recognized!

Alicia Ondieki (Emergent Bilingual Parent, Portland, OR): “I look forward to contributing to your Emergent Bilingual Family Advisory Board. Our voices are important and I am happy to share my perspective as a speaker of Swahili."

Carlos Santos (Translator, CA): “The Clearinghouse saved the day as I completed a disciplinary hearing letter. The legal glossaries you have there are so helpful. Please keep adding resources. They help us so much when we do this work."
