National Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice
Our National Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice for Educational Translators and Interpreters of Spoken Languages draws upon the initial framework provided by the Minnesota Department of Education and the National Code of Ethics for Interpreters in Health Care (NCIHC 2005). This Code of Ethics was nationally-vetted and adapted to educational settings thanks to feedback provided by focus groups representing:
Early Childhood and K-12 Teachers
Multilingual School Personnel
Department of Education Directors
Emergent Bilingual/Multilingual Families
Bilingual Family Engagement and Parent Outreach Coordinators
Certified Medical, Legal and Sign Language Interpreters
School District Faculty and Staff
Special Education Teachers
General Education Teachers
Speech and Language Pathologists, and
School Psychologists
