Interpreter Interview

Moving from Jordan to the United States was challenging for my family. I was the only child at the time and my parents primarily spoke Arabic in the house. The elementary teachers I had described me as a timid student, because I could barely speak English. I had difficulty with simple reading and writing, while other students went through class with ease. Needing extra tutoring classes and years of being in ESL was exhausting. However, learning how to read, write, and speak English fluently was only the beginning of my journey.

An interpreter who speaks the candidate’s language could also help the candidate participate in the assessment. Resources could also be made available in the person’s own language or pictures used instead of words.

I decided to interview Mrs. Seppa first because I wanted to be able to have a basis for the questions that I would ask Ms. Villalobos, who teaches in a sixth grade special education class. I noticed after reviewing and comparing responses from both teachers how much of a difference there was not only in the grade, but also the teacher. My first question was asking if they always wanted to be in the area of Special Education. I asked this because I knew I did not always see myself as a potential special education

As much as I want to accomplish my tasks successfully, I also want to be a diligent interpreter for my parents. The role of a student and of a bilingual child had never cooperate for me. I recall the night my family and I prepared to go on a trip over a long weekend. I was still working on organic chemistry problems when my dad called for assistance. He needed me to read over a letter that was addressed to him. After glancing at the letter, I remember looking at my dad asking him why my sister could not have translated. In the most overwhelming period, my impulsive character got the best of me. If the letter was simple as a marketing advertisement, I could have just given a brief explanation and off to my original work. Instead I compared my tasks with those of my little

ASSIGNMENT: Achieving competence as an interpersonal communicator in a diverse society is necessary to your personal and professional success. One way to enhance our understanding of interpersonal communication as a relationship-building activity is to engage in first hand dialogue with people from cultures other than your own. This assignment gives you the opportunity to engage in the dual perspective – honoring the perspective of the person with whom you are communicating as well as honoring your own perspective. You are also able to contrast your worldview with the perspective of someone with a different life experience than your

I have taught students ranging from five years old to nineteen years of age. Hence, being an educator, I have learned that learning is always shifting, therefore I must keep improving with the incessant changes. As a little girl, I have always dreamt of being a teacher and I have carried out that dream. My career journey started as a substitute teacher, a floater between classrooms, an assistant teacher, a teacher, a center supervisor, and an educational supervisor. I presently work as an Educational consultant for Danya International LLC. As an Educational Consultant, I able to review and aid with the learning environment of teachers and educational management in a school

In picking a career we need to ask certain questions. Sometimes these questions are hard to answer. Why do I would become a teacher? Who was the most influential person for you? How do you view yourself as a learner? What is your teaching style and why do you feel it is effective?

Our discussion began with her giving us an overview of the services that she provides. For first grade students, she pushes into classes and help teachers to conduct lessons. From what she told us these seemed to be SIOP modeled lessons that benefit not only the English language learners in the class but all the students. For other grade levels, she also conducts pull out groups where she gives small group instruction. Within these small groups, she uses the materials that her students already encounter in their general education classrooms and tries to make them more understandable. I thought that this was important because I feel that the goal of ELL instruction is to help students to become more independent and it would be

Overall, my feelings and thoughts about this experience were positive, emotional, as well as informative. I feel that some of the things that were mentioned I would have never known until this interview was actually conducted. The thought of troops living conditions while being deployed was just horrific. You have military troops out fighting for our country and protecting, ,but don’t have a descent bed to sleep in, no air conditioning, being on missions that they don’t know whether they are going to make out dead or alive. They are not able to contact their families as much as they would like to because they are so many miles and hours away. I give the upmost respect to our military troops because it if wasn’t for them who knows what the world

I conducted my job shadow at Indian Springs Metropark. I spent the day with an environmental interpreter at the park. The job of an environmental interpreter varies from day to day. Most days an interpreter will educate students on the outdoors. Anything from ecosystems to wildlife. It is an interpreter's duty to make sure anyone who wants to know more about the park, has that information available to them. Other jobs an interpreter enjoys are trail maintenance, resource management and some administrative work.

I always thought I would be a teacher and I would make differences in lives and it would be the greatest experience in the world for me, yet being a teacher wasn’t enough, I had a need to expand my education. I decided that perhaps I needed a new career, however, I felt certain education remained my passion. I began to explore new areas of education and I realized I still want to be a member of a classroom, a school and curriculum. I aspire to guide those leading our classrooms.

My decision to be a teacher did not come easily to me. This choice was dependent on a reflection about what I was passionate about and how I could make a difference. I have chosen to become a teacher, as I believe teachers have the ability to provide future generations the stimulation for one of the most significant roles in life; to become a lifelong learner. Many teachers that I have had during my education have had a positive impact on my decision to grow and develop the skills that are fundamental to pursue a successful teaching career. My aim is to be a part of an honorable profession with the optimism that one day I will become an efficacious teacher who can provide future teachers with inspiration, as my teachers have provided for me. Through personal educational experiences and peer-reviewed academic literature, I am able to shape my approach to my pre-service teaching, as it will influence my future practice. As a teacher, there is not just one singular approach to educating students; there is a need for flexibility, diversity, adaptation and reflection.

The Art’s The Arts is the area of knowledge that interests me the most. I have been told since I was little that I had a talent in the arts, but didn’t begin thinking of it as a career until high school. I really enjoy the arts because they allow me to express myself without feeling like an outcast.

Why am I a teacher? When I was a child I always had to pretend play school with my friends and I always had to be the teacher. My mom was a preschool teacher at the local day care center and I grew up seeing her cut bulletin boards and plan lessons. My best friend in middle school 's mom was also a teacher. I never wanted to be anything else and didn 't really have a back up plan if this teaching thing didn 't work out. In this paper I will take you on a journey through my educational years in elementary school and middle school, my time high school, delve into my time in college and then into my career as a teacher.
