  		 MIRID VI Workshop
Hosted by MIRID-VI
Meeting/Workshop
Presenter: Diana McKittrick

Diana McKittrick, MSDB Outreach SCPI Coordinator will present on Saturday, January 20th. She will be discussing the SCPI evaluation and how it can benefit interpreters. The SCPI assessment is currently used in different schools for the deaf, organizations, governmental entities and agencies throughout the nation to assess ASL/sign language proficiency of their staff, students and consumers. SCPI has been a tool used in Michigan since 1989 by the Michigan School for the Deaf (MSD) to assess the sign communication skills of all MSD employees working for the school. Several years later, the school in response to the need and requests from outside of the school system, the Community SCPI program was created. This was (or potential employees) to ensure effective communication when interacting with deaf and hard of hearing individuals.

In 2002, the SCPI program was transferred under Low Incidence Outreach with services provided to educational systems.

Time:
10:30am - Welcome

 PBS documentary explores 200 years of deaf life in America
“Through Deaf Eyes,” a two-hour PBS documentary exploring nearly 200 years of Deaf life in America, will air early next year. The film was inspired by the exhibition, “History Through Deaf Eyes,” curated by Jack R. Gannon of Gallaudet University.

The documentary will air nationally on PBS on Wednesday, March 21 at 9 p.m. ET (check local listings).

The film presents the shared experiences of American history -- family life, education, work, and community connections -- from the perspective of deaf citizens. Interviews include community leaders, historians, and deaf Americans with diverse views on language use, technology and identity.
