Time:  4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

For K-12 ASL Educational Interpreters

Meeting description:  This is an informal event to assist with connecting Educational ASL interpreter mentees with other mentees as well as their mentors.  K-12 ASL interpreters often work alone and may be the only interpreter in a school or a district.  This is an opportunity for interpreters to collaborate with other mentees to learn about studying and preparing for the written and performance interpreting exams, including the EIPA.

Meeting objectives:

• Inquire and learn about specific exam topics and strategies for testing.
• Create an action plan with 1-2 new strategies for preparing for certification.
• Collaborate with other K-12 educational interpreters who have provisional certification and are preparing for exams.
