One avenue which aspiring interpreters take towards acquiring ASL and English proficiency is attending an Interpreter Education Program (IEP). A student’s overall perspective of their IEP experience is determined by the nature of their exchanges with faculty and peers, and their academic interactions within the classroom. This study compares the perspectives of white students to that of students of color to determine if there are differences in the IEP experiences of both student groups.

[av_toggle title=’Educational Objectives’ tags=” custom_id=” av_uid=’av-4frnui’]
Participants will be able to:
- Recognize five major areas in which students of color and white students’ educational experience within IEPs are similar and different.
- Articulate the most recent survey results pertaining to the racial diversity of IEPs curricular materials
- Acknowledge the history of research and discussions relating to racial diversity of IEPs.
- Analyze the potential impact of racial disparities in IEPs on Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing and Deaf-Blind communities.
