The first webinar series will be on Demand-Control Schema. Within this series, four webinars will be presented by Robyn Dean and will introduction viewers to the theoretical framework, use within dialogic work analysis and integrating observation-supervision within interpreter education program curriculum. Two other webinars are offered within this series by Paula Gajewski Mickelson which will look at ethical decision making and internships for interpreting students. This educational opportunity is geared towards IEP faculty and students, internship hosts/supervisors, mentors and working interpreters.
Webinars are hosted by the National Clearinghouse of Rehabilitation Training Materials.
Each webinar is followed up with a four week long online learning community. This allows viewers who sign up to participate to continue learning and exploring concepts presented in the webinar. The online learning community is a listserv hosted by the National Clearinghouse of Rehabilitation Training Materials (NCRTM) and lead by the presenter.

The first three webinars in this four part series introduced viewers to the theoretical framework of Demand-Control Schema (DC-S), how to discuss interpreting demands/controls using a paradigm of teleological ethics, and how to put all the DC-S constructs together by using sample cases and situated practice examples to highlight how these DC-S constructs are used to analyze interpreting cases. This included an explanation of demand constellations, consequences and professional values. Some viewers then participated in three online learning communities were they continued to learn about demand-control analyses.
In this session we will discuss how analytic skills (demands and controls, dialogic work analysis) are not an end unto themselves but a means by which students and professionals continue to learn and develop their knowledge, confidence, and skill sets. In particular, we will discuss experiential learning techniques such as, observation-supervision. Through in-vivo observations of service settings – involving only hearing people (e.g., a doctor’s appointment, an AA meeting, a community education class) – students and practitioners can be exposed to the EIPI demands of those work contexts. Through supervision discussions, educators can take the EIPI data collected from the students (via observation forms) and make the important connections between what they observed and how that new knowledge will better prepare them to work in those settings and how to deal in general with the job demands of interpreting. - Internship Capacity: Institutional and Community presented by Paula Gajewski Mickelson - August 23, 2012 at 6:00 pm Mountain, 7:00 pm Central & 8:00 pm Eastern.
