The Code of Professional Conduct: You Have Got To Be Kidding Me!

Each day interpreters are faced with ethical dilemmas related to the facilitation of information. Some of these challenges are small and require a minimal amount of mental energy to resolve. While others, require a great deal of searching and values clarification before reaching a resolution.

Participants, by using their experiences and an analysis of their own values, will analyze their own personal evolution within the profession and application of the RID Code of Professional Conduct.

Participants will:     

• Become familiar with the stages of moral conduct development.
• Be able to describe the basic tenants of the Code of Ethics.
• Demonstrate an understanding of how the stages of moral conduct influence the way they interpret and utilize the Code.
• Demonstrate critical thinking skills in evaluating various ethical situations.
