About Us | Press Releases | Deaf Interpreting Focus Groups Announcement: Deaf Interpreting Focus Groups The DI Workgroup established through the National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers (NCIEC) is seeking participants for Focus Groups to be conducted in NCIEC and the region centers. The short-term goal of the Focus Groups is to determine standard practices in deaf interpreting via interview of working certified and non-certified deaf interpreters. Long-term goals include establishing best practices in deaf interpreting as well as developing training opportunities for deaf interpreters. We are especially interested in interviewing deaf interpreters of color and deaf interpreters working with deaf/blind consumers. Interviews will be conducted in ASL in a centralized location in each region and will be videotaped for transcription and data collection purposes. Each Focus Group will need 4 - 6 participants and one session will be conducted in each region as well as with the diversity group. In order to participate you must be a working deaf interpreter (working at least 10 hours in the last 5 months) and have been working a minimum of 3 years. You must also be at least 18 years old. You can work freelance or with an agency. If you are interested or know of someone who is interested in supporting NCIEC's efforts, please contact Lillian M. Garcia at l.garcia@neu.edu by February 23rd, 2007. The National Consortium of Interpreter Education Centers is funded from 2005 – 2010 by the U.S. Department of Education RSA CFDA #84.160A and B, Training of Interpreters for Individuals Who Are Deaf and Individuals Who Are Deaf-Blind. |
