Time We Discuss Career as Educator for the Deaf

#asl #americansignlanguage #educator #career #newcareers #interpreters #writer #publishedauthor #author In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I speak with Author, Interpreter, and Educator for the Deaf, Jared Lopatin. Spoiler alert - discover just how little I know about this occupation, right at the opening question :-D In this awesome conversation with Jared, we learn that ASL is just another language and teaching is teaching. He talks about possible credentials needed to work in this career as well as well. In speaking with Jared, we learn about the different between signing and interpreting. At the end of the segment, we speak about Jared's start as an author and he speaks briefly about the five books which he has published (links below). Because I've already spoken with several authors recently, I didn't spend much time on this particular topic. Instead, I focused on his work as an educator and interpreter. After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career paths are available for someone pursuing a career in Deaf Education and whether or not this could be a good career choice for you. #asl #americansignlanguage #educator #career #newcareers #interpreters #writer #publishedauthor #author =================================================================Timestamp:0:00 - Intro1:17 - What's it like teaching students that are deaf? 1:31 - What does deaf education certification look like? 2:22 - In this area of expertise are specializations still broken out by grade such as early grades, middle grades, and secondary education? 2:56 - Did this occupation find you - how did you get started teaching? 4:54 - Is an advanced degree needed in deaf education? 5:38 - Are there professional interpreters?
