Event Details
This workshop is designed to explore subjects in the educational setting that can be a bit touchy to interpret. We will take an in-depth look at Family Life in the K-12 setting and how interpreters can be better prepared to approach the subject in the most professional way. As interpreters, how many times have we been faced with the decision: to expand or not to expand, what exactly is my role here, or how far is too far? The goal in this workshop is to empower interpreters to take an active role in their interpretation of touchy subjects and get the intended message across to the client showing respect to the deaf/hard of hearing student as well as any professionals in the room. Other subjects such as Science and History are explored to find out how to address the challenges that arise in the classroom. The workshop will also include open discussion that will enable the group to learn through others experiences. Whether you are a seasoned interpreter or just beginning your journey, this workshop has something for everyone.
Educational Objectives:
- Participants will demonstrate knowledge of low cognitive vs. high cognitive interpreting approaches.
- Participants will construct plans based on when to expand the message and when to leave it in a more original form.
- Participants will learn to examine the situation and base their interpreting approach based on the needs of the clients.
- Participants will be able to reflect on previous experiences and share what was successful.
