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.
