Based on the unique competencies required of the Deaf interpreter, the curriculum is designed for use in interpreting education programs and community-based forums.

The NCIEC Deaf Interpreter Curriculum consists of six modules arranged in sequential order. Appendices include the Deaf interpreter competencies, worksheets, presentation slides, a glossary, and a comprehensive listing of resources.

Access the sections of the curriculum by clicking on the links below, or download the PDF version, bookmarked for easy access to curriculum contents. Both include links to videos and related resources relevant to Deaf interpreter education.

The curriculum represents an important beginning of a new conversation about how best to prepare Deaf interpreters to carry out their specialized work, to contribute in important ways to their ongoing professional development, and to foster advancement of the field of Deaf interpreter practice.
