It is a way to reflect on our work, sometimes called case conferencing. It is an intentional professional practice between trained supervisors and practitioner. It provides a way to think about our work to promote ethical and competent services to the consumers we serve.
Practice professions such as medical practitioners, mental health providers, and interpreters have a long history of participating in professional supervision. Supervision has become more popular recently in the ASL interpreting profession.
Supervision in interpreting uses the Demand Control – Schema (DC-S) which was developed by Dean and Pollard. Each session one or two interpreters will share a situation they experienced from work. This is done in a confidential matter, sharing only enough details for the group to understand the scenario. Once the interpreter has shared their case, supervision leaders and peers will ask clarifying questions to help identify the demands of the scenario. Participants help each other identify demands, controls, consequences, and resulting demands. These become tools for the interpreter sharing the case, as well as everyone in the supervision group, so they can apply them to their work.
The next round of case conferencing sessions will run every other Monday from late September to early December 2024, for a total of six sessions. Interpreters will be eligible for 0.2 CEUs per session, up to a total of 1.2 CEUs if they attend all six sessions.
This program is available to interpreters living in Greater Minnesota, and to interpreters eligible to participate in Greater Minnesota grant programs.
Sessions will run from 6:30pm to 8:30pm on the following dates:
