Connecticut RID Presents:Let’s Talk: A New Framework For Debriefing
Presented By Brent Tracy (B.Ed, NIC, Ed:K-12)
Sunday June 9th
10:00am - 1:00pm
Workshop Location: Cogswell Cafeteria
American School for the Deaf
139 N. Main Street
West Hartford, CT.
Target Audience: Working ASL-English Interpreters & Interpreting Students (hearing and Deaf)
Workshop Description:
Decisions, decisions, decisions. Interpreting is predicated on decisions before during and after any assignment. When working with a team, we must collectively make important decisions to optimize the efficiency and efficacy of our facilitation. How will consumer orientation take place? What preparation work needs to occur with consumers? How should we switch? When should we switch? What cues or signals can my team and I use for support? How can we feed each other? These are all common questions a team may ask. But is there something missing? We all can agree that it takes a cognitive toll. A solid team is essential to mitigating internal and external factors, resulting in a more positive experience for the consumers we serve. But a solid team is built on a foundation of trust, which requires having open, honest dialogues. In this interactive discussion, we will examine the efficacy of current common pre and post assignment briefing practices. During our discussion we will address possible gaps in these practices using a cognitive bias framework. We will discuss how to unpack
those hidden factors to maximize effective teamwork.
Workshop Objectives:
* Identify opportunities in common pre and post assignment briefing practices.
* Illustrate benefits of debriefing with a cognitive bias framework.
* Develop strategies for incorporating a new framework in their debriefing practice.
