Interpreter and Equity Center Supports Equal Access for All

The Puget Sound ESD is committed to partnering with schools to ensure that all students receive equal access to a high quality education. In efforts to accomplish this goal, we have created the Interpreter and Equity Center.

How can the center assist your school or district? The Interpreter and Equity Center can support your efforts through our three main services:

  • Interpreter program development
  • Culturally responsive systems
  • Culturally responsive student leadership development

The interpreter program provides administrative consultation, technical assistance and ongoing support to establish an individualized in-house program. The culturally responsive systems development offers professional development, data analysis and technical assistance that explore the characteristics and practices of culturally responsive environments. The third component supports the development of culturally responsive student leadership and training for students to become professional interpreters.
