Feedback Survey
(B)“As an interpreter, what is your first response when you learn that you will be interpreting in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) content areas? Some of us are thrilled. For others, “I became an interpreter so I wouldn’t have to do math or science,” is a very common response. However, if you felt confident in your approach to interpreting in STEM content areas, would your reaction change? What if we showed you that you know more about STEM content than you think you do? Moreover, how to apply that to your work. As interpreters, our own self-talk can be the most hindering factor in our growth and development. The ability to reframe the work can be the most powerful tool in your kit.” Participants will/be able to: • Recognize and employ real-world, experiences with STEM from their everyday lives. • Describe and apply non-traditional preparation strategies for interpreting in STEM classes and events. • Parallel the scientific method with their approach to interpreting work. • Apply a variety of strategies for interpreting in STEM content areas.

Educational Objectives: Participants will:
  • Understand a variety of strategies for interpreting in STEM content area
  • Will be able to parallel the scientific method with their approach to interpreting work.
