Workshop Offerings


Regional Coordinators Sam Infantino and Mary Jo Porter,
and Center Director Marilyn Mitchell hard at work



These workshops are intended for Educational Interpreters registered with the Preparation of Educational Interpreters Grant through the New York State Education Department.  To take workshops, Interpreters must have taken one or both of the EIKA and EIPA at one of our four Regional Sites.  They are free of charge to Educational Interpreters who work within New York State and are intended to provide training toward knowledge and performance competencies as stated by their Prescriptive Plans.



No workshops are currently scheduled.  Contact your Regional Site Coordinator to request a workshop, or to inform your Regional Site Coordinator of planned Superintendant's Conference Days in your area.
