PARID presents:
The 500 Hats of an Educational Interpreter
Presented in ASL by Lisa Cryer
Friday, December 2, 2022
9:00am - 1:00pm
PARID Members - FREE!
Non-PARID Members - $10.00
Workshop Description:
Educational interpreters often face an identity crisis because their role is viewed differently by various school personnel. Educational interpreters are often employed by a third party with a direct report to someone within the district and building to which they are assigned. Typically, the district/building personnel do not fully understand/appreciate the roles and responsibilities of an educational interpreter.
In this workshop, we will discuss the application of the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct, the National Association of Interpreters in Education (NAIE) Code of Ethics and the guidelines from Boystown/EIPA to identify the correct roles and responsibilities of an educational interpreter. We will review posted job descriptions and consider options for navigating potentially conflicting responsibilities.
This workshop will be presented in ASL via Zoom and is intended for all interpreters and interpreting students. Upon completion, participants will receive 0.35PS CEUs.
Zoom link will be sent out on Thursday, December 1, 2022.
Objectives:
At the completion of the session, participants will be able to:
1 - Compare and Contrast the relevant professional guidelines (CPC, NAIE and Boystown) relating to competing roles/responsibilities of an educational interpreter.
2 - Define 3 responsibilities that are unique to working with the K-12 population.
3 - Identify 3 conflicting roles experienced by educational interpreters and suggest 2 controls for each (using Demand-Control Schema).
4 - Articulate 3 ways that working with a Deaf Mentor benefits educational interpreters.
