Which action helps the interpreter align with teacher expectations?

• A. Copying notes
• B. Ignoring curriculum
• C. Asking to see curriculum and teacher's philosophy
• D. Changing curriculum

Answer: (C)

Understanding classroom goals and the teacher’s approach helps an interpreter meet expectations. When you ask to see the curriculum and the teacher’s philosophy, you get a clear map of what will be taught, in what sequence, and which terms or concepts are essential. This lets you choose signs and language that align with the teacher’s goals, maintain consistency with instruction, and tailor your delivery to the class’s aims and the students’ needs. It also supports placing content in the right level of detail, choosing appropriate terminology, and deciding how literal or paraphrased your interpretation should be to reflect the teacher’s intent. This proactive collaboration shows you’re planning with the classroom in mind and interpreting in a way that supports the instructional objectives and classroom culture. Copying notes or ignoring the curriculum wouldn't provide that alignment, and changing the curriculum isn't within the interpreter’s role.
