In June 2007, the Transition to Auslan Project—an initiative of Education Queensland (the title used to refer to the State Department of Education in Queensland, Australia)—commenced. The project consists of a range of professional development opportunities designed to assist Education Queensland staff, who are responsible for working with students who are deaf to develop and enhance their skills in the use of Australian Sign Language (Auslan). The professional development activities of the Transition to Auslan Project also aimed to develop bilingual pedagogical practices in teaching students who are deaf and who use Auslan. In this article, the author describes one of the elements of the Transition to Auslan Project—professional development for educational interpreters. The background, planning, development, delivery, and outcomes of this professional development program are outlined and discussed.
