Webb (2017) identified that interpreter educators face many job demands and do not always have enough resources to manage those demands. One of the main findings from this study is that interpreter educators do not have the time they need to develop resources and attend to specific needs of their curriculum. Therefore, this interactive workshop aims to provide interpreter educators with time to share resources with one another (e.g. assessment rubrics, PowerPoints, video materials, situated learning-scripts). Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to share challenges, seek advice, and brainstorm solutions for working in a neoliberal higher education system.
Participants are invited to select between 1-3 topical discussion groups over the course of the 90- minute period. All groups will have a discussion facilitator to support and guide each group through the collaborative exchange. Topics include:
- Interpreting skills,
- Mentorship/Supervision/Practicum,
- Service Learning,
- Assessment Processes,
- Admission/Exit Processes,
- Challenges and Solutions within Higher Education.
Group facilitators will support the collaborative exchange among participants to ensure that participants have an opportunity to describe their resources and how they are used in practice.
To maximize the effectiveness of this exchange participants are asked to bring paper and/or electronic copies of the resource they are sharing. This will ensure participants can see what is being described to them in real-time, but also so that facilitators can effectively pool these resources with the explanations as to what they are and what/how they are used to distribute more widely to interpreter educators. With permission, all resources shared will be sure to ensure credit to the creator(s) is given.
