RIPPLE: Facilitator / Mentor Training Program

Adapted from the 麻豆传媒-Project CLIMB mentor training, the IRIS Rural Interpreters Promoting Professional Learning and Engagement (RIPPLE) program is designed as a 5-month, 120 hour hybrid (online and in-person) community of learning that focuses on reflecting on one's own journey of learning and how to apply those experiences when facilitating and mentoring others. The program utilizes current interpreting models and frameworks paired with social justice as the lens of the discussion.  

Upon completion of this program, participants will be able to: 

1. Demonstrate the competencies required to facilitate IRIS Project participants through an online curriculum; 
2. Demonstrate the competencies required to mentor IRIS Project participants; 
3. Recognize systematic barriers inherent in interpreting work;  
4. Reflect upon factors impacting decision-making while facilitating and mentoring; and
5. Extrapolate a participant鈥檚 interpreting work apart from the person via an Integrated Model of Interpreting framework.
