Share Shop for ASL Educational Interpreter Mentors

The April Share Shop will consist of 2 activities.  The first will be that participants will build on the information presented in past mentoring share shops and in this session will be specifically reviewing current test result data as well as requested professional development activities so as to identify areas of focus for the next school year.  Planning and discussion in the small group will consist of setting the plan for upcoming presentations and presenters for the interpreting group as a whole and will engage in discussion and planning for mentor professional development needs so as to better assist mentors in building their skill set as well as their resources to meet the needs of the non-certified staff in their districts.

The second part of the evening will be Feed & Go II: A Quick Study on Feedback & GoReact - The Mentors Edition

Attendees will take away current exam based terminology (related to the Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) exam and National Interpreter Certification (NIC) exam as well as the ability to provide non certified interpreters with constructive, useful feedback based on exam terminology. Participants will be shown GoReact.com and how to navigate the site so as to engage in professional development with non-certified interpreters and how GoReact can help non certified interpreters focus on classroom interpreting skill development.

Please note there will not be a light supper provided.
