This webinar is 0.2 Professional Studies CEUs and is presented at the Little/None Knowledge level.

This webinar explores the concept of consumer orientation and how it can be utilized to support consumers’ understanding of the interpreted interaction.  We will discuss research, the evolution of interpreter ethics, and how a lack of consumer orientation can have a negative impact on consumers, interpreters, and the message.  The presentation will enumerate components of effective orientation and will include examples from the FEI model for consumer orientation.  Participants will be encouraged to consider how consumer orientation might be employed in their practice.

This webinar is 0.2 Professional Studies CEUs in the Power, Privilege, and Oppression category and is at the Teaching Knowledge Level.

This workshop will add on to part I on diverse cultural perspectives in the classrooms by utilizing videos and discussions around experiences of diverse Deaf and hearing people from interviews done by the presenter. Educators will learn how to analyze their thoughts surrounding cross-cultural information, people, and perspectives. They will learn now to discuss culturally relevant issues for Deaf and hearing People of Color communities and how they can add diverse perspectives into their teaching which may impact the interpreting process and consumer satisfaction.

Requests for reasonable accommodations can be made by emailing webinars@rid.org
