School Interpreting Website (Capstone for the School Interpreting Series Curriculum)
As a school interpreter, you will work collaboratively on an interdisciplinary team to ensure free and appropriate public education for students who are deaf and hard of hearing.
As a community interpreter working in K-12 academic settings, you too will temporarily join interdisciplinary teams and work collaboratively to directly or indirectly support the education of deaf and hard of hearing students.
As part of your journey in school interpreting, you will create your own School Interpreting Website. This School Interpreting Website will engage you on an on-going basis as you develop important interpreting, educational, and professional capabilities. It will capture your career development and professional learning through student-centered product and reflective processes which will develop within you a strong sense of personalized ownership of the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for school interpreting.
The knowledge, skills, and attitudes for school interpreting is outlined in the ten School Interpreting Series (SIS) Competencies and is the framework of the School Interpreting Series. The School Interpreting Website is how you will engage with, reflect upon, and demonstrate the SIS Competencies and thus, your ultimate component, collaborative, and interdisciplinary practice as an on-going or temporary service provider in educational settings.
