Why expand... you're simply interpreting what is being said?
Expecting the interpreter to expand what is being said... only adds a lot more work and confuses the interpreter because they have to determine what needs to be expanded and it also varies on the intelligence of the student that the interpreter is interpreting for.
If a student doesn't understand what you said, then it's likely for two reasons... the student isn't familiar with your sign language or isn't familiar with the material that the teacher is providing. Either way, the student should ask the teacher to repeat or rephrase... or the student can ask the interpreter during break or at the end of class.
I have a few interpreters who will ask me if I understand them clear, especially during class where huge complex lectures are given. This has happened in one of my graduate level business courses (lots of long words and interpreter asked if it was appropriate to use acronyms instead) and in a medical lab procedure course (lots of unfamiliar medical words). Those interpreters would ask me before class, during break, or after class.
