Have you ever watched your own work and focused only on what you're doing wrong?
What if we disrupt our old patterns of learning that are hyper-focused on deficit?
What if we accept from the outset that we are good interpreters doing good work?
This simple shift can build us up to GREAT. Are you ready?
Jeff Wildenstein, creator of our wildly popular voicing course, brings his thoughtful, rigorous approach to the skills we use when interpreting into ASL
During this 10 hour, skills-intensive course you will:
Practice analyzing specific ASL features using actual work samples from a Deaf/hearing interpreting team
-
Use the '80/20 Rule' and 'Rule of 3' to create a strength-based approach to self analysis
-
Commit to a concrete plan for building on your strengths and taking your interpreting to the next level

The Insightful Interpreter recognizes that Deaf and BIPOC interpreters have unique skill sets, expertise, and valuable perspectives that benefit the interpreting field. These interpreters also experience bias, oppression, and barriers in our field and our society; in response, we offer discounts on all courses to self-identified members of these groups.
This course is intended for working sign language interpreters and students of interpreting.
