EIPA - The Road to Success - January 6

Workshop description:

Yielding a high score on the EIPA greatly improves the positive impact an interpreter has on the educational outcomes of the Deaf children with whom they work, and this workshop is designed to increase interpreter competency not only for the EIPA but ultimately the classroom.

Agenda: This workshop (part I) is designed to break down terminology used on the EIPA results packet in order for interpreters to internalize the feedback they receive to make noticeable advancements in their skill sets. Furthermore there will be intensive modeling of specific skills that the EIPA is screening for; allowing participants to recognize the difference in current ability and desired ability.

Presenter/Instructor:  Jonathan Silva

Jonathan Silva has 9 years of professional K-12 interpreting and has taken the EIPA several times for research and data collection.  Currently holds master scores (4.5 and above) on various forms of the EIPA exam. Jonathan has been teaching EIPA slated workshops for over 5 years and has been met with much enthusiasm and positive feedback.  He is currently a district mentor in CA; responsible for training educational interpreters to achieve higher scores on the EIPA and improve the quality of their overall work. Jonathan has mentored over 40 interpreters to passing the EIPA (every interpreter he has personally mentored has passed = 100% success rate).

This program is offered for  6.5 CEH TECUnit hours and .65 RID CEUS.
