EIPA Workshop with Kevin Williams, MS, CI/CT, April, 24th, 2010 !

Presentation Objectives:

This talk will focus on the need for assessment of interpreters working with deaf/hard-or-hearing children in inclusive settings. How educational interpreters either support or inhibit English/Sign Language literacy development in the classroom will also be discussed. Attendees will:

  1. Review the history and design of the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment.
  2. Learn about the theoretical models on which the EIPA is built.
  3. Apply learning via guided observation of videotapes of educational interpreters as well as viewing educational settings.
  4. Review current statistics regarding interpreter competencies and placement trends and how these affect literacy development.
  5. Work on taking EIPA results and translating EIPA findings into a Professional Development Plan.

This workshop will happen from 8:30am - 4:30 pm in the NTID Student Development Center room 1310.

More information / registration form to follow. For immediate questions please contact Kathy Miraglia.
