Historically, interpreters in the educational system and community have struggled to find our voice in which to discuss our work. With educational and community practitioners in mind, utilizing Dr. Robyn Dean and Dr. Robert Pollard’s work on Karasek’s Demand/Control-Schema, alongside Socratic questioning, we will explore
how roles and responsibilities are balanced by providing a language in which we can talk, empowering dialogue in a safe and supportive system, with a demonstration on how this can work. (Presented in spoken English, ASL interpreters will be provided.)
