SCEIC Workshops
With its faculty and staff expertise in educational interpreting, we analyze the competencies data of all Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment (EIPA) and Educational Interpreter Performance Assessment Written Test (EIPA WT) results, and make determinations on areas of professional development and educational need.
In an effort to target learning, educational objectives are thereby determined based on the needs analyses of competencies throughout the state, and we provide several 8-hour (one day) professional workshops in three regions per academic year. We also provide for a weeklong immersion on the Clemson main campus each summer.
South Carolina guidance defines an educational interpreter, regardless of assigned job title, any individual who provides access to the school curriculum and environment by transferring meaning between languages in a PreK–12 educational setting for Deaf students. Educational interpreters are grouped into the following categories:
- Green Group means an educational interpreter has an EIPA score between 3.0-3.4.
- Blue Group means an educational interpreter has an EIPA score between 3.5-3.9.
- Purple Group means an educational interpreter has an EIPA score above 4.0 and may attend Blue Group workshops
Each workshop is targeted to those learning objectives, thus educational interpreters should only be registering for their respective groups. Only educational interpreters working full-time in South Carolina public or charter school districts who have registered with the SCEIC may attend workshops. While the workshops are free, there is a $ 25.00 fee so we may provide luncheon and snacks for each attendee.
