Me too me too!! This chapter more or less wraps up the whole text.
The good part and goal is to enhance our understanding of the process and what we do so that it will lead us to further conversations around our work. I think that is a wonderful goal . We do need to talk more so our profession grows with the ever changing time. We cannot just stay stagnant but need to speak with each other and talk about situations to hear the many perspectives that we don't normally think of because we are in our own little bubble.
thoughts?

Yes, I love the idea of structured supervision and have thought for quite some time that our field should do something like that! We could mirror the Social work field. I enjoy knowing there are people (like you) that I can trust to confide in (like that reference to the description of confidentiality?), but I do think our field is lacking in the sense that we haven't perfected the WAY we talk about work. Like we talked about during meeting, this book is one way to help us, but I think it would have to become standard in order for it to work. Just like social workers have it built into their education we should have something like this built in too. That way when we are leaving the nest we have a foundation of reflective practice/supervision to depend on.

I think the new interpreters that are really motivated find a mentor to guide them into the field. I know for myself I was really lucky to have been working at NU during my education. I was surrounded by Deaf people/students and I had Sue Philip encouraging me and pushing me to stretch myself. Most interpreters that graduate are rarely ready to jump right into to interpreting.
