Most of these
modules are held off-site at the National Technical Institute for the
Deaf's server, using a system called Ideatools. It is strongly
advised that you you go through the brief Site Tutorial before
beginning a module.
We also
suggest that you view these modules with a PC (not a Mac). The
Ideatools system was not designed for use with Macintoshs, and if you
view the modules, you may have some difficulty at times.
Finally, before
starting a module, please make sure there are no requirements to
satisfy before starting.

In order to

workshops:

Education of Deaf Children workshop for an understanding
of child development in the learning process and the impact of
deafness on that process.

Interpreter Ethics: General View: K-12 Grades workshop for
application of ethics in a K-12 educational setting.
You should also
read the New York State Guidelines for Educational Interpreters to gain
an understanding of the roles and responsibilities of the educational
interpreter, teacher, and student consumer. You can obtain a copy
of this booklet through your Regional Site Coordinator, or view an
