If a student with a hearing impairment is provided the use of a scribe through a sign language interpreter, does the interpreter translate the students signed response into standard English?
Yes. However, for the Grades 3-8 ELA it would be expected that only students with hearing impairments who may have additional disabilities that preclude them from writing their own responses would be using a scribe through a sign language interpreter to respond to questions measuring a students writing skills.
