In The Role of the Educational Interpreter, Stephen B Fitzmaurice uses role theory to examine how administrators and teachers perceive the work of K-12 educational interpreters. Listed under All Books as sku-404384114, this hardcover is part of the Interpreter Education series (#11).

Drawing on qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaires with district and school administrators, general education teachers and teachers of the deaf, the book describes how differing perceptions can lead to role ambiguity, conflict and overload.

Fitzmaurice discusses implications for researchers and practitioners, recommends involving the Deaf community, and argues that a shared understanding of the role could help staff and interpreters work together to improve outcomes for deaf students.
