Interpreting Ethics Series:  It’s NOT All About You! The Ripple Effect….

Thursday, November 12 from 1pm - 4:15pm

Registration is now closed for this class.

During this training Tenets 1 - 4 of the NAD-RID Code of Professional Conduct will be dissected and applied to real-world scenarios that interpreters encounter. Participants are asked to bring sample scenarios of ethical dilemmas to discuss. Analysis of Tenets and scenarios will be done within the context of the NIC Interview Exam Rubric. This workshop will challenge participants to evaluate situations holistically, considering the perspectives of all parties involved in various interpreting transactions (including implications to parties not present during the delivery of interpreting services).

Educational Objectives
At the end of this training participants will be able to:

• Examine the CPC Tenets and Illustrative Behaviors from a holistic framework
• Articulate the differences in moral (personal), ethical (professional), cultural (societal), and legal (obligatory) expectations which impact their decision-making processes
• Recognize the far-reaching implications of their decisions on other parties
• Integrate a holistic approach into their daily work and thought processes
• Recognize the need for situational adjustments when determining how to apply the CPC in various settings
