Parking Lot

We got some responses in our "Parking Lot" of the workshop and wanted to respond to them. There

1) Talk more about how do you approach ethical situations within the interpreting field.

2) Have an advanced ethical scenario workshop (More in depth)

3) Discuss the obligation of interpreters to make ethical decisions.

4) How do you approach a co-worker who is acting unethically?

5) Talk about Laws that relate to our ethics, morals, and character.

We need to have another workshop to peel back the layers of ethics and decision making and start examining and discussing what it means to 'us' when we are working as interpreters. If anyone is interested in having a (PART II) of this workshop please let us know. In the meantime we will start putting something together that is something fun but you will be able to putting together how the Code of Professional Conduct guides the decisions we make, and how we can apply the decision-making process to our work. Please add more comments/suggestions on any workshop ideas and when we get the workshop together will let you know. By the way I am loving the discussions we have had so far!! Take care, Sarah

P.S. What do you think about trying an on-line ethics workshop??

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.
