School Interpreting Series

To support the specialized skills development of future school interpreters, the Preparing School Interpreters (PSI) Project (H325K210024) funded the design and development of the School Interpreting Series, which included content and activities that support the acquisition of interpreting skills within the U.S. public school system. The curriculum of the School Interpreting Series was built on the knowledge, skills, and attitudes taught in the Interpreting Skills Series to tailor the professional practice of Scholars pursuing employment in schools.
