In response, sign language interpreting educators are attempting to devise service-learning programs aimed at Deaf communities. Except for a smattering of journal articles, however, they have had no primary guide for fashioning these programs. Sherry Shaw remedies this in her new book \u003ci\u003eService Learning in Interpreter Education: Strategies for Extending Student Involvement in the Deaf Community\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shaw begins by outlining how to extend student involvement beyond the field experience of an internship or practicum and suggests how to overcome student resistance to a course that seems atypical. She introduces the educational strategy behind service-learning, explaining it as a tool for re-centering the Deaf community in interpreter education. She then provides the framework for a service-learning course syllabus, including establishing Deaf community partnerships and how to conduct student assessments. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eService Learning in Interpreter Education\u003c\/i\u003e concludes with first-person accounts from students and community members who recount their personal and professional experiences with service learning. With this thorough guide, interpreter education programs can develop stand-alone courses or modules within existing coursework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherry Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1563685558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781563685552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gallaudet University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.26w x 0.81d","brand":"Sherry Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065709179135,"sku":"9781563685552","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ef94846-5617-40f1-b110-57d7766504ce.jpg?v=1768676736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/service-learning-in-interpreter-education-sherry-shaw-9781563685552","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
