South Carolina Educational Interpreter Guidelines
The South Carolina Department of Education, Office of Exceptional Children has published a resource document to provide school districts throughout South Carolina guidance on interpreting services for students with hearing loss. The Educational Interpreter Guidelines document has been created for use by administrators, educators, and interpreters who work in the educational setting.
Topics covered and addressed in the document range from hiring qualified personnel to assuring appropriate service delivery and addresses professional development for interpreters who choose to work in an educational setting. Furthermore the Educational Interpreter Guidelines will also provide helpful tools in successfully implementing an interpreter to the educational setting by addressing the needs of the administrator, classroom teacher, parent, and student.

This tool contains approximately 6,000 terms that have been provided by the South Carolina Department of Education and aligns with the subject and grade level curriculum.
