Interpreting as Stewardship

Learning Labs are think tanks exploring the intersection of theory and practice.

ASL VLOG is here!

Description of the 2015 Learning Lab:

This year’s Interpreting as Stewardship focus will be on relay interpreting. A common example of relay interpreting is when a qualified hearing ASL interpreter teams with a qualified Deaf Interpreter.

Because the subject matter requires reflection and interactive participation, the workshop will run for 6 months (average 10 hours/month, or 2-3 hours/week) and those who complete it will earn 6.0 CEUs from the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.

PAYMENT AND DISCOUNTS:

Deaf participants qualify for a tuition waiver. First come, first served, 15 slots are reserved for you! Email steph to enroll.
Non-deaf participants are charged according to the standard equation for Continuing Education Credit as established by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.
There is a $600 fee for the course, payable on enrollment. A subscription payment plan is available at $100/month for six months upon request.
