Educational Interpreting

Catalog description

4 Skills Lab Hours Prerequisites: a grade of C or better in ITP 208 Description In this course, taught in American Sign Language (ASL), students discuss issues related to interpreting in the K-12 classroom. Students analyze the major transitions from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and the changes required in professional roles, responsibilities and ethical decision making. This course compares and contrasts working in the community versus K-12 environments, reviewing the testing requirements and state laws governing each setting. Students interpret educational content and review the requirements for a student who has an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and what the interpreter’s role is in this process.
