Description:

Interpreting in education can provide for more diversity than many other interpreting sectors, making many educational interpreting settings a true knowledge and skills crossroads between legal, health care, education, and even conference interpreting. In this session, we will have an opportunity to discuss the various areas of overlap in educational settings. We will have an extensive discussion related to the challenges that are specific to educational settings where interpreters may find themselves, and brainstorm ideas to more successfully facilitate communication in those settings in an ethical manner.

Objectives:

• Compare areas of overlap between interpreting in healthcare and educational settings.
• Determine the educational settings where healthcare interpreting protocols, knowledge & skills are and aren’t applicable.
• Identify resources and tools to successfully interpret in educational settings, including the collaborative-adversarial spectrum.
