Who We Are and Why We Exist

At the American Association of Interpreters and Translators in Education (AAITE), we are committed to ensuring language access in schools across the nation. We exist to advocate, elevate, and professionalize the work of interpreters and translators in education, shaping policies and setting standards that guarantee equitable communication for multilingual students and families. As the leading voice in this field, we provide the resources, guidance, and advocacy needed to drive meaningful change—because language access is not just a service, it’s a right.
At AAITE, we are deeply engaged at both the federal and state levels, advocating for policies that protect and enhance language access. We don’t just participate in these conversations—we help lead them. Our work ensures that interpreters and translators in educational settings are recognized, supported, and held to professional standards that guarantee meaningful access for students and families with limited English proficiency.

 A Hub for Advocacy and Action

Now more than ever, language access is under scrutiny. We are facing a pivotal moment—a time of uncertainty, but also of opportunity. AAITE is positioning itself as a central hub where professionals, policymakers, and advocates can come together to coordinate efforts, share resources, and take collective action. Our goal is to amplify a unified voice in defense of high-quality interpreting and translation services in schools and beyond.

Building Resources & Expanding Awareness

We are actively curating and sharing key resources—including policy statements, research, and expert analyses—through our website, social media, and direct collaborations. You’ll find vital documents, like our Joint Association Statement on Executive Orders, as well as expert insights from leaders in the field. And this is just the beginning—our commitment is to continuously build and update these resources to support our members and the wider community.

We invite each of you to not only stay connected with AAITE but to actively participate—whether that means following our latest updates, contributing to discussions, or advocating in your own local communities.
