NIC Rubric for Interview Portion of Test

The NIC Rubric was introduced for the first time at this workshop!! WHOA! I have been studying really hard for the NIC written test but had no idea the depth and challenge that this next part of the NIC test would be. I have a general overview of how they conduct the interview and how they will base the 5 sections for 5 minutes each on the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct, on how you can take multiple perspectives from all members of the community ex: Deaf, hearing, intperperter, etc. , How you need to focus on short term but also long term effects, etc. They gave out some practice senarios and I have a LOT of notes. I figure after my written test is over and I set up a test date I can really start to focus my attention on this part of the test as well as the preformance...just take one thing at a time. I'm just glad I have a basic understanding of what to expect and an outline of what to study and what they expect from me during the interview portion.
