The Role of Educational Interpreters: Choices and Challenges in K-12 interpreting

Date(s) & Time(s)

February 8, 2020   ~  11:00 am - 3:15 pm

Workshop Description

Barbara Woodhead, B.A., RID CI/CT, EIPA Evaluator, will be the presenter for this live video conference.

Interpreting is much more than transferring meaning from one language to another. This training will examine the role that interpreters inhabit in K-12 settings. Content will include an overview of current literature on the concept of role-space and identity. Workshop activities and discussion will look at various scenarios and the ethical principles and/or guidelines that inform interpreter decisions.

Handouts will be emailed a few days prior to the workshop. If you are RID-certified and wish to obtain CEUs, please bring a check for $5, payable to BTNRH. Checks will be forwarded as a courtesy to our participants. NJDOE PD certificates will be provided after the workshop.

Coffee and food will not be supplied; however, you may bring a beverage and/or lunch for the break. In the event of inclement weather, you will be notified via email early Saturday morning.
