This workshop will provide participants with an opportunity to further develop ethical thinking and decision making, specific to the high school educational setting. Educational interpreters often find themselves in a long-term assignment, interacting with Deaf students, hearing students and other professionals in a learning community where every adult is looked upon as a teacher and potential role model. Through readings, lectures, guided discussions and role play scenarios, participants will analyze the ethical role of interpreters in the educational setting, how functioning as a team member is affected by the RID Code of Ethics and how to respond to seeming conflicts with the Code of Ethics and role of the educational interpreter in a professional manner.
