I am feeling really good about the Signs of Development Study Group. There are so many positive people on the web site but also allows all of us to analyze and understand our actions when interpreting. We can sit back and say to ourselves, "Is this ethical." We have the Code of Conduct 7 Tenets that we have to give us a guideline in our interpreting profession. We learned that there are many other professions, just about everyone that has some kind of guideline. Code of Conduct but all of them directly fit the goal of that particular field of expertise. I've also developed a way for me to memorize the 7 tenets and the rest of the people in the study group have done the same. It is going to be a very challenging but at the end we will all come out to be better interpreters. I'm glad they included this in the NIC test. Times are changing, we are growing upon the ideas that we learned in the past and we need to ensure that the interpreting profession people stay educated and current. Most of all we need to be autonomous. We spend most of the time working alone. There needs to be some way that we can make sure that when we are out there we are equipped with the tools, education, background, to make the right decisions. As people vary so do interpreters...we have a wide array of different interpreting styles and personalities. To me the most important thing is to maintain respect for consumers,colleagues, interns, and students. Just like the NIC Interview wants us to include, we need to consider the views of all people involved while doing our job.
As you can see...it's all starting to come together for me. :) I just wanted so summarize these first few study groups.
