Workshops & Trainings for Educators

Clarke is committed to helping all children who are deaf and hard of hearing reach their full potential. As a significant part of this commitment, Clarke offers a variety of workshops and training programs to prepare future teachers to work with children with hearing loss and provide opportunities for current teachers of the deaf and mainstream educators to learn and develop new skills that will benefit their students.

Oral Transliterating

Clarke offers the only program in the United States that trains educational oral transliterators, who help facilitate communication for deaf and hard of hearing children in the classroom. Oral Transliterator Trainings include a basic 30-hour training program held each summer on the Northampton campus, preparation for the Registry of Interpreters of the Deaf National Certification Exam, and Advanced Oral Transliterator Trainings. Clarke Mainstream Services also offers oral transliterating tools, including our Resource Manual to help prepare for the RID written exam, as part of our Educational Products.
