  Case: ASL interpreter
While in the classroom there is an American Sign Language interpreter. The ASL interpreter refuses to help pass out paper as it is not his job. This includes passing it out to his deaf student. What would be a good way to communicate why I would like some help?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Interpreters are not teaching assistants, which are different jobs. An ASL interpreter should focus on interpreting sign language and it usually demands their full attention. If you need extra help in the classroom, ask for a teaching assistant or maybe assign a student to be the teacher's helper every day to do little tasks such as handing out papers or sharpening pencils.

Comments: I do agree that it is not necessarily their job, I would speak to administration about if it is appropriate to sit down and talk and try and compromise with them, or if you can be provided a TA

Comments: I think this is the best solution or answer to this case. The ASL interpreter's job is to interpret and not to pass out papers even though it would be helpful. A teacher's assistant would be helpful if the teacher is struggling to do certain tasks inside the class. Utilizing students is another great idea for having some extra help in the classroom.

Comments: This is exactly my thought. The interpreter is there to help a language barrier, not to pass out papers. If she needs help then she needs to ask for a helper.

Comments: Assigning a student to a role can also help with retention and not getting off task in the classroom. For example, if a student is not paying attention during circle time, giving them specific tasks can help!
