Professional Development Plan
The following is a short-term professional development plan for the months of December 2008 to March 2009. By the end of March, and before my internship in the spring, I hope to improve the following: meaning transfer, use of space in ASL, idiomatic interpretations from ASL to English, and the development of my short term memory. These highlighted objectives have been chosen based on reflections of my most recent interpreting work. Prior to my internship, I hope to re-evaluate my professional development plan and set new goals for myself. I also plan to develop a long-term professional development plan for my post-graduation interpreting career.
