In his book, The Courage to Teach, Parker Palmer says, “The growth of any craft depends on shared practice and honest dialogue among the people who do it.” However, Palmer is concerned that the current dialogue in the teaching profession is reduced to the technique of teaching and fails to appreciate the human issues of the profession. He suggests that in reducing the profession of teaching to mere technique, we diminishes the human-ness of the teacher and “…people do not willingly return to a conversation that diminishes them.” What is described here about the teaching profession is also true about interpreting and yet, the growth of our craft depends on the ability of professionals to share practice and to do so in an honest manner. Palmer suggests that the teaching profession begin a new topic of conversation and provide its professionals with ground rules for this honest dialogue.
What is described here about the teaching profession is also true about the interpreting profession and yet, the growth of our craft depends on the ability of professionals to share practice and to do so in an honest manner. Palmer suggests that the teaching profession begin a new topic of conversation and begin it with ground rules. In this two-day presentation, participants will be exposed to the demand-control schema for interpreting, a practice-profession approach to the interpreting field. This new topic of conversation for the interpreting field embraces the human issues of interpreting and establishes ground rules for dialogue about interpreting work – referred to in other professions as case consultation. This type of reflective learning approach is highly practical in its application because discussions about work are not placed in an abstracted hypothetical but in the tangible and practical experiences of daily work.
Robyn Dean, MA, C.I./C.T., was appointed to the faculty of the University of Rochester School of Medicine in 1999, in recognition of her scholarship in the interpreting field and leadership in the education of interpreters, medical students, and other health care professionals. She has been an interpreter for 19 years, with particular service experience in healthcare and mental health settings. Ms. Dean holds a BA in ASL Interpreting and an MA in Theology. Ms. Dean's recent application of demand-control theory to sign language interpreting, as described in the Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education (Winter, 2001), has been the topic of numerous workshops, publications, and grant projects nationally and internationally. Her contribution to interpreter education was recognized in 2008 with the Mary Stotler Award, an award conferred every two years, conjointly, by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf and the Conference of Interpreter Trainers. Ms. Dean’s work is funded by several federal grants, one which infuses demand-control schema curricular materials into fifteen interpreter training programs across the US.
