NOT-SO-DELIBERATE, DELIBERATE PRACTICE: A Contextual Framework for a Part-Time Interpreter
Get PDFAs a part-time interpreter without abundant opportunities for skill development, deliberate practice is essential, yet can be difficult to attain. Several key themes are revealed in this research of a part-time interpreter’s deliberate practice while considering the role of the inner expert (Reeves, 2014). Using this perspective, deliberate practice is approached by considering the contextual factors surrounding an individual’s engagement in a practice profession. Personal factors influencing a practitioner’s feasibility in engaging in deliberate practice are considered. Findings show the need to be flexible when implementing deliberate practice and to follow one’s own context prior to applying prescribed definitions of deliberate practice in isolation
Betting on Yourself: Developing Confidence as a Novice Sign Language Interpreter
Get PDFConfidence is not only a trait that is essential to embody in one\u27s personal life, but it is the main factor of performance as discussed in Judge et al. (1998). When new interpreters first enter the interpreting field they can commonly experience stress, anxiety, rejection, and hopelessness. In other words, a new interpreter\u27s confidence, if present at all, is usually extremely low when first starting out (Moore, 2020). The purpose of this study is to show the importance of confidence and how a novice sign language interpreter can build themselves up to succeed as well as, construct confidence; within themselves and in their work. The method used in this research study was to apply various controls that could possibly provide additional tools and options to assist in building self-confidence. When focusing on one control at a time, I could then narrow down the most and least effective routes towards my self-confidence

Effective Teaching Strategies for an Up-and-Coming Science Teacher
Get PDFFor a science teacher beginning their career in teaching, there are a multitude of what are considered to be good teaching practices they will need to know. It can be overwhelming for an individual to hone in on the best practices to focus on first. For this action research project, I combed through these practices and selected a few major themes that I believed to be effective teaching strategies for an up-and-coming science teacher.
I first started by addressing my own philosophy of teaching, and what I believe are the characteristics and actions of an effective teacher. From there I reviewed a plethora of literature regarding teaching and focused on three major themes: differentiation in the classroom, effective teaching practices, and effective teaching practices specific to a science teacher. I then conducted research and collected data on these three themes through my lesson plans, journal reflections, and feedback from my cooperating teacher and supervisor. I then concluded the project with my own analysis and reflection of the data, which showed just how invaluable these three major themes are for effective teaching for a new science teacher

Rehabilitative Methods and Their Corresponding Recidivism Rates: A Qualitative Analysis across Select U.S. States
Get PDFThe present study aimed to identify rehabilitative programs at correctional facilities in Alaska and Oregon. This research also sought to identify obstacles and aids in the rehabilitative efforts at these facilities. It was hypothesized that reintegration programs would be perceived as the most effective type of rehabilitative program and that a lack of funding in prisons would be the greatest obstacle to the rehabilitative process. After reaching out to correctional facilities in multiple states, three key stakeholders in Alaska and Oregon were interviewed. Results indicated that no specific type of program was consider more effective over others. Rather, all programs were considered necessary to provide individualized treatment to all adults in custody. Furthermore, the greatest obstacles to rehabilitation at these facilities were difficulties motivating offenders to take advantage of treatments and understaffing. Further research should explore various ways to empower and motivate offenders to utilize rehabilitative programing.

From the Cold Seat to the Hot Seat: An agency guide to interns
Get PDFSign language interpreting agencies can provide interns with authentic learning experiences and assist with the transition from student to professional. A review of literature regarding the gap between classroom and professional work experiences was conducted. From this review, current practices, problems, and practical solutions were identified. With these providing a theoretical foundation, surveys and interviews of agency owners were conducted regarding their current and past experiences of utilizing interns in their agencies. Results revealed a list of reoccurring themes on how to better include and support interns, such as the use of mentors, shadowing, and development of business practices. Utilizing these suggestions or recommendations may allow agencies to better prepare interns as they transition from the “Cold” seat to the “Hot” seat
