What is ICRID R.A.P.S.?
R.A.P.S. stands for Read, Analyze, Ponder, and Share. This is a great opportunity for Indiana interpreters to earn CEUs by gathering with colleagues in your area to discuss articles relating to the interpreting field.
How does it work?
Register for the date of the roundtable discussion in your area you would like to attend. You will receive an email with the article that will be discussed. Read the article and answer the discussion questions prior to attending the roundtable discussion group. Moderators at your site will monitor and guide the discussion to encourage focus on the topic and interaction among those present. You MUST bring your completed discussion questions to the roundtable and hand them to the moderator before the meeting begins.
ICRID R.A.P.S. is expanding. Starting in September we will have 6 locations around the state: Indianapolis (South), Carmel, Mishawaka, Hammond, Evansville, and Fort Wayne.
