Mentor to Mentor: Tips and Techniques for Deaf Mentors Working with Interpreters
Produced by the RSA Region V Intepreter Education Project, this resource is distributed by agreement with them.
Research has shown that when interpreters identify areas of skill development, most often those skills are related to ASL fluency. Working with Deaf ASL Mentors is a wonderful way to address those needs. Unfortunately, there are not enough resources available to support Deaf people in these efforts. Working with Albert Walla, a local Deaf educator with years of experience working with Deaf audiences on mentoring issues, we have developed a handbook to serve that purpose. This handbook is now on a CD-ROM, with video clips, presented in ASL, highlighting the content of the handbook, showcasing examples of mentoring and supplemental resources.
