"The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." ~ Albert Einstein
I was at a great professional development workshop tonight. I love learning. I love this particular presenter, too. I find her so easy to listen to---I wish my public speaking skills were that awesome.
The topic was interpretation and the illusion of inclusion in public schools. She gave us such food for thought. She is one of the few national interpreters who also does research. She was here two years ago to bring the Manitoba scene into her work.
She spoke to the fact that interpretation is never as good as direct teaching. Deaf and hard of hearing children in the public school do not get a good education even with the best interpreter. She said many things that made great sense to me. I am picking her up early as she is doing a session in the morning so I had better get to bed.
Peace,
Suzanne
