Arizona Training of Interpreters in Public Schools & State Performance Plan

Project Details

Project Services

1) Arizona Training of Interpreters in Public Schools (ATIPS):
TAESE will be providing skills training to K-12 interpreters working in public schools in the State of Arizona.

The ATIPS project is a one-year comprehensive approach to training designed for K-12 interpreters living/working in the State of Arizona. ATIPS is funded by the Arizona Department of Education and offers blended delivery training aimed at K-12 interpreters with proven skill.

This blended delivery skills training begins with Summer Face-to-Face (F2F) training to introduce participating interpreters to the training modules to be used, as well as the technology necessary for participation. K-12 interpreters enter the ATIPS Project via evaluation. This measured entering point assists both the interpreter, who receives appropriate training based on the diagnostic results, and ATIPS, which plans and delivers the training based upon the same research.

2) State Performance Plan (SPP):
TAESE will provide technical assistance in addressing the requirements of the Arizona State Performance Plan for IDEA.
