Effective Team Interpreting:
Working your way through the styles, philosophies, and attitudes

Offered by Betty Colonomos
Sponsored by RID's Interpreters with Deaf Parents (IDP) Member Section and held as a pre-conference event to the RID Region I conference held in Albany, NY from August 12-15, 2010.

Held at the Albany Marriott, Albany, NY

This 10 hour (1.0 CEU) workshop will focus on the challenges involved when working with a team. If you were similarly trained or share similar models, it is more likely you will have a satisfactory experience. If you are working with someone who differs from your approach and beliefs, what types of decisions need to be made? If you are working at a conference with a large team of interpreters who you may or may not know or have worked with before, what options are available?

Participants and presenter will be actively involved in working groups and larger group discussion in an effort to help find answers and offer strategies for resolution. Scenarios will help practice and evaluate certain strategies. Group development of a matrix of factors may assist agencies in assigning team members.

This workshop is open to all interpreters.

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.
