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.
- Participants will be able to identify approaches to interpreting family life by giving the interpreters options for the interpretation.
- Participants will be able to identify strategies and techniques on how to interpret for high cognitive vs low cognitive students.
- Participants will be able to utilize and deliver various vocabulary for higher level classes as well as resources to help prepare for the interpretation.
