ASSESSMENTS

Skills Improvement
The Skills Improvement Plan, based on the diagnostic assessment of the individual interpreter, will prescribe the professional development activities necessary to qualify for a Standard Educational Services Certificate with a sign language endorsement and/or with a cued speech transliteration endorsement. Such activities may include:

• Workshops
  
  
• Professional Mentoring
  
  
• Coursework: The content areas for the required fifteen semester hours of coursework include child development, language development, curriculum development, methods of instruction, legal/ethical issues for educational interpreters, and interpreting for students who are Deaf/Blind.

Once the participant has completed his/her Plan activities, he/she will receive a post-assessment ranking and can then apply for state certification.
