Interpreters and all audiences:
“Sign Olympics” with Alex Bono and Natalie Bengston
Back by popular demand! All participants will “compete” with other teams to be the first or the best team to complete all of the stations. Each station will allow opportunity for improving skills in an individual and a team setting. Each team will be able to demonstrate appropriate classifier usage, facial expressions, body language, story-telling skills, signing skills, and teamwork. Judges will compare the skills of individuals and teams to help them improve their abilities and go for the GOLD! This is a combined activity for all levels and all attendees.
Interpreters:
TBD
Students:
Tanya Timmerman 1.5 hours
Deaf Slang and everything you wanted to ask a Deaf professional but never had the nerve to ask.
" Does Your Ethical Compas Point Due North” with Cindy Wood 1.5 hours
The RID Code of Professional Conduct (CPC) is a static, black and white document that sets forth basic guidelines to mitigate harm for all stakeholders in our profession. During this workshop we will review each tenet and discuss the ever present socioemotional, and human factors that impact the ethical decisions interpreters make when on the job. Participants will receive two ethical dilemmas, be asked to identify specific tenet violations, evaluate their own ethical compass, and collaborate/ challenge one another to determine possible outcomes based on different decisions.
Interpreters and all audiences:
“Deaf Community Panel” with various Deaf Professionals.
In this workshop we will have discussions led by a team of Deaf and hearing moderators. We will discuss, from the panelist's perspective, what is expected from both the hearing interpreters and Deaf consumers during a job. The moderators will present various scenarios to the panel, and they will discuss how to handle the situation appropriately from their perspective. Also, what should or could be done differently and if any corrective action should be taken.
