Reflective Practice Groups
Every year from January to June, The Insightful Interpreter offers two 6-month Reflective Practice Groups: one for BIPOC interpreters only, and one that is open to everyone.
This course is designed to prepare participants for any DCS Supervision experience, including these Insightful groups.
Brush up on your understanding of DCS, learn what to expect during facilitated sessions, and be ready to jump in on day one.
Key Details
Videos for this course are presented in both American Sign Language and spoken English. Instructions and activities are provided in written English. For accommodation requests, please email [email protected].
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.
