Afternoon Session

Saturday, Dec. 10th
Conference Schedule

"What do you do with an idea?
You create a workshop!" 0.3 CEUs

Presented by Cindy Wood and Amy Kisner

This workshop hopes to provide participants with detailed information about generating ideas and taking those ideas to the next level in developing an RID CEU approved workshop that will add value to the interpreting profession. Participants will have an opportunity to brainstorm ideas, collaborate with other participants, and receive some preliminary feedback from their peers about potential workshop topics.

Presenters will offer participants specific strategies for developing their idea, how to earn CEUs along the way, and in the end have a product that is worthy and ready to move to the workshop development phase. They will also share ideas and resources about creating their presentation, working with a host, and how to bring their workshop to the interpreting community, virtually and/or in-person. Finally, this workshop endeavors to lay the foundation for participants to begin drafting their workshop ideas, and initiate opportunities to build a lasting network of collaborators and colleagues.

EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES

Participants will be able to:

  • Identify two workshop worthy ideas that will add value to the field of interpreting
  • Outline a workshop description
  • Draft two or three strong educational objectives
  • Identify a specific target audience based on workshop content
