This is particularly the case given the rate at which Artificial Intelligence models are advancing. The current study sampled 87 university students and sought to evaluate participants’ ability to detect AI-altered/generated images. This was measured via survey and was followed by a training module designed to teach participants about some of the key artifacts in AI-generated/altered images. Participants completed a second survey following the training portion to evaluate for change. It was hypothesized that there would be a significant difference between the participant’s pre-treatment and post-treatment scores following the training module. A paired-samples t-test showed that post-treatment survey scores (M = 11.66, SD = 2.25) were significantly higher than pre-treatment scores (M = 9.05, SD = 2.61), t(86) = -10.19, p < .001, 95% CI [-3.12, -2.10]. After controlling for relevant individual differences, the results showed a large effect size (d = 1.09). This shows the ability to train audiences in how to recognize images that have been generated or altered by AI. The current study showed a slight decrease in participants’ accuracy in detecting real images due to increased skepticism. The applicability to the generalized population of the specific tips provided in this study should be studied further as image-generating AI models will likely phase out many of the artifacts used in this study.

Guided by the research question—how can bilingual assessments improve literacy evaluation and instruction for Spanish-English bilingual students?—the project involved DL teachers, paraprofessionals, administrators, and families. The intervention replaced the limited easyCBM tool with the Renaissance Star assessments in Spanish and English to better align assessments with students’ instructional languages. Professional development has been delivered to train educators on data interpretation, instructional planning, and family communication. The mixed-methods data analysis, which included Renaissance Record Book results, student growth comparisons, teacher surveys, and family feedback, revealed several key findings. These findings showed improved instructional decision-making and increased family engagement through bilingual Student Assessment Reports (SARs). However, challenges persisted in teacher data literacy and family access to digital tools. The findings suggest that culturally and linguistically responsive assessments can advance instructional equity, paired with targeted professional learning and family engagement strategies. The project concludes that assessment systems must affirm multilingual learners’ full linguistic capabilities to yield accurate, actionable data. Future work includes expanding district-wide assessments, refining SAR tools, creating small-group instructional guides, and improving digital access.

The researcher documents his journey using journals to express his experiences facilitating supervision for a group of medical interpreters working in the hospital setting. The purpose of this study is to gather data that could guide future trainings for facilitators of supervision. The supervision group consisted of both American Sign Language/English and Spanish/English medical interpreters. As a newer interpreter to the field with limited medical interpreting experience, it was expected that the researcher might face difficulties successfully facilitating supervision sessions for that staff. It was found that limited experience in the setting and being a newer interpreter did not have any impact on the facilitating process. The findings from this study can be used as one potential guide for future individuals interested in becoming a supervision facilitator and can also be used for those interested in developing materials to train facilitator.

According to Cokely (2011), the Deaf community, who once had control over the selection, vetting, and training of ad hoc interpreters, were replaced as societal gatekeepers by institutions of higher learning. This transition has presented systemic issues in signed language interpreter education. Many fundamental aspects of interpreter education have yet to be researched or standardized (Witter-Merithew, 2004). Interpreter Education Programs (IEPs) have struggled to effectively train interpreters for work as professionals, as evidenced by a decades-old graduation-to-certification gap (Cogen & Cokely, 2015). This research examines simulation and role-play as a possible solution to effectively train future interpreters. These activities provide exposure to authentic settings, real-world practice, and experiences that cannot be learned by observation or interpreting from a video source. The path is also then paved for the Deaf community to resume their traditional role in interpreter education. Despite the perceived efficacy of simulation and role-play as an educational technique, there has been very little research on these activities in IEPs. Signed language interpreters and interpreter educators nationwide were surveyed about their use of simulation and role-play, their experience learning through simulation and role-play, and the effect these activities had on their growth as a professional interpreter. Responses to the survey illustrate the authenticity of current usage practices, as well as the barriers that educators face in designing and implementing these types of activities.
