Conference of Interpreter Trainers http://www.cit-asl.org/
CIT is a professional organization dedicated to laying the educational foundations for interpreters to build bridges of understanding. While focused primarily on interpreters working between American Sign Language and English, we welcome educators who work with other languages, whether signed or spoken.
Domains & Competencies  www.asl.neu.edu/niec/domains.html
In 2000, Project TIEM.Online, directed by Dr. Betsy Winston, received a Department of Education grant (#H160C030001). One major goal of that grant was to investigate, and design, and implement a curriculum for teaching teachers how to teach interpreting. The domains and competencies were incorporated into the Masters of Interpreting Pedagogy program, established in the ASL program at Northeastern University in 2005. They form the foundation for the design, development, delivery, and assessment of that curriculum.

Needs Assessments
 The Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment Report serves as a starting point for understanding the current and projected needs of deaf consumers as they relate to the availability, quality and overall use of interpreter services. The Phase I Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment effort was designed as only the first in a series of on-going activities planned by NCIEC to collect input from deaf consumers. The Phase II Deaf Consumer Needs Assessment is being conducted now across the country in face to face interviews with Deaf Consumers.

Effective Practices
 The National Center is charged with a leadership role in identifying effective practices, both existing and those to emerge through NCIEC projects and activities. The goal is to identify effective practices and produce guidelines, benchmarks, milestones and assessment measures to guide others in future replications of, and improvements to, those practices.
