WALKING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND
PD is launching a dedicated program called "Next Steps! Pathways to Professionalism" involving 1:1 support, study groups and individualized guidance.
SLR believes every interpreter deserves the tools, support, and recognition that come with a professional credential. Every student deserves an interpreter highly motivated for excellence. The pathway can look different for everyone, so PD created a roadmap to help interpreters on their path. Our Next Steps! Pathways to Professionalism plan makes sure interpreters get there step by step.
WONDER-FULL DISCUSSIONS
Our Autumn Book Club met in November to share our insights and revelations from the book Generations: The Real Differences Between Gen Z, Millennials, Gen X, Boomers and Silents--and What They Mean for America's Future.
Shout outs to fellow K-12ers that participated! Jess Ames, Sandra Blum, Kimberly Hale, John Izaguirre, Andrea Kremer, & Mark Weissglass
