David Ward, speech-language pathologist

Find Washington's open K-12 educational interpreter jobs here, plus the performance standard you must meet and the certificate that replaces it in 2027-28.

Today's standard

Washington's special education rule, WAC 392-172A-02090, requires every educational interpreter, certificated or classified, to pass an assessment approved by the Professional Educator Standards Board (PESB). PESB accepts two routes:

  • an Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) score of 4.0 or higher, plus a passing EIPA written test
  • National Interpreter Certification from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, plus a passing EIPA written test

Certificates start in 2027-28

As amended in 2025, RCW 28A.410.271 keeps the performance standard in force through the 2026-27 school year. By the start of 2027-28, you will need a PESB certificate. The law creates two kinds. A limited certificate goes to interpreters who meet a lower performance standard and lasts up to five years. A full certificate requires the full standard, and PESB sets its validity period. The board may add requirements for interpreters who had not worked in the role before September 1, 2026.

If you lack a limited certificate once 2027-28 begins, you can keep interpreting for one calendar year after your latest assessment results or 18 months after the assessment itself, whichever runs longer. Your district has to see ongoing progress toward the full certificate, and it may consult PESB when deciding. The statute excludes modes with no suitable assessment, such as oral interpreting, real-time captioning, and cued speech.

Employers and mentoring

PESB describes the educational interpreter as a school district employee. The Washington Center for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Youth (CDHY), a state agency, supervises the state school for the deaf in Vancouver and coordinates regional services statewide. CDHY posts its openings on the State of Washington careers site.

CDHY also offers K-12 interpreters a free mentorship program from September through May, with weekly classes, monthly cohort meetings, and one-to-one sessions with Deaf and hearing mentors. Its K-12 outreach team includes an educational interpreter liaison, teachers of the deaf, a speech-language specialist, and educational audiologists who consult with districts.

Pay

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a median annual wage of $61,750 for interpreters and translators in Washington in May 2025. The bureau counts school interpreters in that group alongside spoken-language translators.
