That was true in the 1900s, and now is true in the 2000s. It seems like we constantly are back to page one of the dialogue. Iowa faces interesting challenges in educational programming for its children. There has been much discussion about the changing needs of teacher licensure.
Quality is of essence.
To this end, we see the discussion beginning on the state level with regard to interpreter licensure. There is no question that we need quality interpreters. Having a quality educational interpreter is just as important as having a most appropriate educational program. I sure hope so. The Iowa School for the Deaf will be a part of all these initiatives, utilizing the best of our abilities to influence the outcome.
