Dealing with Multiple Roles

Product Information

- 6 hours/0.6 CEUs.

Today, the vast majority of Deaf / Hard of hearing children are attending their local public school. The interpreter is often the most "misplaced" and "mis-classifed" staff in the school system. Recognition of the interpreter and interpreting as a profession requires a paradigm shift. It's common for educational interpreters to be asked to be responsible for more than just communication access. How do these roles after the educational setting and the goals of IDEA? Can an interpreter be given a dual role as an interpreter and still keep the job title, "interpreter"?

Does an interpreter's "other duties" during the school day diminish the role as communication facilitator? Can Deaf and hearing consumers follow the daily role-shifting?

This workshop will look at various job descriptions, do a task analysis, and meet on line to collaborate on the issues related to interpreting with other responsibilities.
