Science and Classifiers Go Together, Really? – 0.2 PS CEUs

CEUs: 0.2 PS CEUs

Presenter: Jennifer Francisco

Presented in: ASL

Format: Archived Webinar

Science is one of the most fun subjects to interpret but it often seems to be an intimidating classes to interpret. Interpreters often say science classes are terminology-heavy and content-dense. They are not wrong, but interpreters do not realize classifiers can come in handy in science classes. In this webinar, interpreters will learn how to incorporate classifiers within a science classroom to make information visual and accessible for their audience. Classifiers can provide much more information to students than signs. Interpreters will leave the webinar with tips and tricks to feel ready to tackle Physics, Biology, and more!

1. Participants will be able to analyze scientific content to determine what type of information can be represented by classifiers and which specific handshapes to use.
2. Participants will be able to describe and explain scientific content and science vocabulary.
3. Participants will be able to explain how classifiers can replace signs and still convey the scientific information and concepts.
