Many Communication Plans state the student who is deaf or hard of hearing utilizes Pidgin Sign English (PSE) as their primary mode of receptive communication. PSE is rich and complex, and is often used in complicated communication environments including elementary, middle, high schools and college level classrooms. Educational interpreters must analyze content and materials to be used in order to order to predict the variety of discourse structures that a teacher might use in a given lesson. This “hands-on” workshop will provide participants with examples of high quality effective interpretations presented in PSE in the educational setting, as well as, opportunities to interpret similar classroom content using PSE.
