Sign Language Interpreter (ASL) | Eden Prairie, Minnesota

Bring your expertise in sign language to a welcoming educational environment! We’re seeking a dedicated professional to provide in-person sign language interpreting services to a high school student who is deaf. This full-time, contract opportunity runs the entire school year and is vital in supporting a student who recently transitioned into the district. After a year of substitutes, both the student and staff are eager for a consistent, in-person interpreter dedicated to this role—your presence will be truly valued in fostering meaningful connections and academic success.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL) with proven experience in educational settings
• Ability to interpret effectively between students, teachers, and staff
• Previous experience working with high school-aged students is highly desirable
• Familiarity with IEPs and collaborating with special education teams
• Strong interpersonal and communication abilities
• Commitment to professional ethics and maintaining student confidentiality
• Certification or licensure as required by state or national interpreting standards

Your Responsibilities:

• Provide clear, accurate interpretation between English and ASL in classroom and school-related activities
• Support the student’s inclusion in academic, social, and extracurricular settings
• Work collaboratively with teachers, staff, and specialists
• Adapt interpreting techniques to suit various learning environments and activities
• Serve as an educational ally, fostering independence and confidence in the student
• Maintain professionalism and confidentiality at all times

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Enjoy the fulfillment of building lasting rapport with one student throughout the full school year
• Feel truly appreciated for bringing stability after a period of substitute interpreters
• Be part of a school setting that values in-person support and student-centered care

Ready to make a significant impact in a student’s academic journey? Apply today and help create a supportive environment where every moment of communication matters!
