COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Interpreting is a process of making decisions, such as “Where shall I stand/sit? How should I prepare for this job? Shall I interpret or transliterate? Which concepts require fingerspelling and why? Should I ask the speaker to clarify what was just said or shall I try to figure it out from the context?” This workshop, beneficial to interpreters of all experience levels and work settings. will present the Dean and Pollard model for making ethical decisions using Demand-Control Schema and lead the group in a variety of small group role plays and situations where the model can be applied.
After this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify challenges when making professional and ethical decisions
- Evaluate the effectiveness of applying this model (a) by interpreters of all experience levels and (b) in a wide range of work settings
- Demonstrate the ability to apply the Dean and Pollard model for making ethical decisions using Demand-Control schema to the challenges identified
