Workshop description: Interpreting in K-12 educational settings is challenging and highly complex work, which is often done in isolation, or without much support. If you are looking for ways to take the good interpreting work that you are doing in classrooms and make it great, you won’t want to miss this workshop! During this interactive workshop, we will explore the complexity of interpreting in education and educational discourse, which is the purposeful way that teachers use language to engage students in learning, and discover strategies that will take your interpreting to the next level. This two-part workshop will be reflective, active, and fun- so come prepared to give your brain and interpreting skills a workout! By the end of the workshop, interpreters will have new strategies to provide effective classroom interpreting, including active preparation, and a plan of action for implementing new approaches to their professional work in schools.
