 Training Options

InterpActive is pleased to present you with a variety of training options to best meet your needs and keep you and your team inspired to inspire!

Your Way Options (Section A) are best for individuals while Synchronous or Face to Face Options (Section B) are best for groups from the same organization.

A. Your Way* Participatory Interpretation Online Training Options
*Your Way = online training that you complete on your own time and schedule. There are no set dates for the training.

A1. Your Way: Inspire Visitors through Participatory Interpretation 

Discover the art of participatory interpretation, which enhances visitor engagement through hands-on activities, sensory experiences, and meaningful conversations. This self-paced online course, completed in approximately 8 hours, provides a comprehensive learning journey. Beginning with an introduction to the Miro whiteboard platform, the course covers techniques to boost audience participation using the PIE model—Participation, Information, and Encouragement—and hones conversation skills with the TALK model—Try Talk Types, Ask open-ended questions, Lead with Facilitation Techniques, and Keep on Inspiring. Each section is thoughtfully designed to offer an engaging and immersive educational experience.

A2. Your Way: Making it Real  

For those looking to advance their expertise, the Making It Real course is the next step. Building on the foundation of the initial 8-hour course, this additional 4-hour module focuses on designing participatory experiences tailored to your site. Using InterpActive's Recipe Card planning template, you'll receive guidance from Dr. Jacquie and collaborate with your cohort members for a supportive and enriching learning experience as you develop a site-specific program.

A3. Your Way: CUSTOM Online Training 

Our custom option allows you to tailor the online training experience to meet your group's specific needs. In this personalized, self-guided Miro-based course, your cohort will consist exclusively of your staff or volunteers. Together, they will progress through the Your Way: Participatory Interpretation and Making It Real course modules and activities, benefiting from Dr. Jacquie's weekly comments and feedback from colleagues.

B. Synchronous* Online or Face to Face Options

*Synchronous = online or face to face training in which the whole group is together on Google Meets or physically at a site. We will select dates that best fit your schedule.

Important Information

METHODOLOGY

Holistic Inspiration-based Interpretation

All InterpActive training is guided by Holistic Inspiration-based Interpretation as covered in Dr. Jacquie’s book Inspired to Inspire (2020).

Through these training courses and follow up coaching, your staff/volunteers will gain the tools they need to be more at ease with two-way interactions with visitors.

 

All InterpActive courses are participatory and Dr. Jacquie will involve you and your team in many different facilitation techniques you could use with your visitors. Throughout the courses, discussions will be tailored toward your site and your circumstances as much as possible. As a bonus, you will leave these courses with thoughts for ways to report on the successes of participatory and dialogic interpretation to your management.

 

And you will be inspired!
