The Amherst-Pelham Regional Middle School Grade Span Advisory Board had it's second meeting of the school year. Here is a photo showing some of the work that was discussed.
Bilingual Interpreters and Translators
The Amherst Public and Amherst-Pelham Regional Schools employ bilingual interpreters and bilingual translators to assist students,their families, and our staff in building strong connections to the instructional program and the school community. Bilingual interpreters and translators are fluent in English and the native language of the student(s) with whom they work.
Bilingual interpreters work during the school day with English Language Learners who are in the early stages of acquiring English. Bilingual interpreters usually work in core content classes such as science, social studies, and math, and provide meaningful interpretation/explanation/translation of the instructional program.
Bilingual translators are employed to interpret parent meetings and conferences and to provide written translations of school reports, documents, and information, on as needed basis.
Interpreters and translators work during the school day normally 10 to 15 hours per week at $11.00 per hour. We are looking for reliable people who can dedicate at least 2.5 hours a day, preferably in the morning. For further information, please contact Yahdira Torres at 413-362-1810.
