Workshop Description:

Are you an interpreter educator who works in an interpreter education program.  or one who supports interpreters after they graduate and are working toward certification?  Whether you are one, the other, or both, you are invited to join the CATIE Center’s Graduation to Certification program and explore some of the resources we have developed to support novice interpreters.

This online workshop will introduce a variety of resources and educational approaches that we are piloting with novice interpreters in what we are calling the GTC Journey Track as we support them on their path from graduation to certification.  You will have a chance to explore the resources and think about how you can incorporate them into your educational practice – whether that is in a classroom, online, in workshops, or in mentoring relationships.

Resources addressed will include:

  • An online, self-paced course on Effective Learning and Practice that can be used independently or  incorporated into an interpreter education program.

  • A Scavenger Hunt through the GTC Resource Library with openly-accessible videos and activities, featuring diverse signers that are searchable by specific competencies addressed.  These are available for independent or classroom use.

  • A course on Body Language: Talking about the Cardiovascular System in ASL (featuring Nigel Howard)
