On the Horizon

Over the next few years, we’ll be adding resources for interpreters, Deaf community members, agencies, and other stakeholders who want to learn more about interpreting in situations with legal implications.

Stay in the Loop – Now! Join our mailing list to learn when new modules, panels, and resources are available.

2027

Self Directed Modules – Online modules you can take on your own, at your own pace. They cover the same topics as the Program of Learning and are open to any interpreter or interested professional, with no application needed. You can earn RID CEUs for each module you complete.

Open Resources – Existing resources will be leveraged for this project, and adjusted with updates as needed. New resources will also be created for open access use by community members, interpreters, and other stakeholders.

2028

Communities of Practice – For each self-directed module, a facilitated community of practice will be offered once over the life of the grant. 

AI & Ethics Panels – The project will host and record panel discussions exploring the use of technologies such as AI and the ethical considerations surrounding its application in legally implicated contexts. 

Directory of Trained Interpreters – A public directory, updated annually, of interpreters who complete the Program of Learning will be posted online.

2029

Webinar – A webinar on emerging issues in interpreting situations with legal implications will be recorded and posted online.

2031

Replication Guide – Available in the final year of the project, a guide for interpreter education programs, agencies, and trainers who want to offer a similar program in their own community.
