Decoding Teacher Talk: Interpreting Educator Language in Instructional and Collaborative Contexts
This workshop supports interpreters in building competence with expanded technical vocabulary and systems knowledge to improve interpreting accuracy, conceptual equivalence, and instructional access for Deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Participants will examine how understanding instructional frameworks and school-based systems enables interpreters to better anticipate educator intent, align with instructional and programmatic goals, and contribute more effectively as members of educational teams. Strengthening this knowledge supports clearer communication, more consistent interpreting outcomes, and stronger collaboration with educators and support staff across classroom and collaborative settings.
