This Individual Development Planning (IDP) process was developed for novice interpreters in the Graduation to Certification program as part of an Experiential Learning Model Demonstration Center for Novice Interpreters. The IDP process includes three options. The first is a spreadsheet that supports novice interpreters in creating SMART goals using the major features of interpretations identified by Taylor (2002,2017). The second version provides a model of a month-long plan with varied practice on different skills, drawing on research into the science of successful learning (Brown, Roediger, & McDaniel,2014). This resource includes ASL and English explanation of how goal setting and a development plan fits in with mentoring relationships. Designed in the Canvas Learning Management System, the IDP materials include MS Word and Excel versions, Google Docs and Sheet versions, as well as PDFs. The documents are included in a Zip file with a Common Cartridge format meaning it can be downloaded and transferred to any Learning Management System. References: Brown, P. C., Roediger, H. L.
