Whether in a conference workshop or in a classroom-based setting, interpreter trainers and instructors are frequently faced with the challenge of delivering meaningful learning experiences for groups of students who themselves have varying levels of skills and prior knowledge. Add on the challenge of instructing individuals who have different learning preferences, and it can seem impossible for trainers to deliver presentations and classes that hit the mark for everyone. 

This webinar is designed to provide interpreter trainers with a variety of tools and strategies to overcome these challenges so that no one leaves their workshop or class feeling shortchanged.  Learn how to avoid losing precious minutes by bringing one segment of the group up to speed while the other segment is hungry for more advanced instruction and skills practice. Gain strategies on how to prepare activities that are challenging but still accessible and well-suited to each skill level. Create content, or modify existing content, that addresses the learning preferences of each individual and, most importantly, sticks with learners long after the end of the class or workshop. Step-by-step examples of how to use and apply the tools will be presented.

Learning objectives:

In this webinar, interpreter trainers will learn how to  

• Use Bloom’s Taxonomy as a guide to writing clear learning objectives that target different skill levels 
• Adapt lesson plans in order to create learner-centered experiences and effective delivery methods  
• Apply tools for creating rubrics and incorporating technology into lesson plans
