How to Improve Accuracy and Efficiency

0.3 CEUs, PS

In this workshop we will discuss how an educational interpreter can use personification in a junior high school setting. How we can become our subject. History lessons have many rich opportunities to do this, which will be demonstrated. We will look in on how during biology class you can become the animal or in science become an atom!

    Goosebumps!!! I loved loved loved this workshop! I love the statement "Give yourself a break" - even though the instructor said this wasn't a therapy session - it sure felt like a huge boost and very positive encouragement! I will definitely work on the facial expressions, adverbs, etc...fantastic!!

Timothy Mallory

Timothy Mallory is from the New England area and is a CODA of two Deaf parents, who attended the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, CT. Tim is RID certified (CI) and has been interpreting and teaching ASL for about 30 years. He specializes in interpreting in the VRS/VRI world as well as educational settings. Additionally for the past 15 years his work includes translation from text to ASL. He currently lives in the New York city area, however he is a Boston sports fan for life. Much of Tim’s work in translation has led to the development of a skillset that can be applied to the interpreting process. His aim is that skills learned will enable interpreters to perform the work necessary without expending all of their energy. The course he teaches will focus on techniques that will help you to interpret with more confidence and ease.
