A group coaching expereince
A 4-week seasonal gathering for refreshment, connection, and shared wisdom.
Teaching doesn’t have to feel lonely.
If you’ve ever thought:
- “I wish I had colleagues to bounce ideas off of…”
- “I’m exhausted and need new energy for my teaching…”
- “I want support, but I don’t want another heavy training…”
You’re not alone. Interpreter educators everywhere are carrying heavy loads — balancing teaching, interpreting, program demands, and personal wellbeing. It can feel isolating, even overwhelming.
The good news? You don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
What is the Connected Interpreter Educator Circle?
A 4-week, group coaching experience where interpreter educators gather to:
✨ Share real challenges and learn from each other
✨ Explore new ideas and perspectives
✨ Reconnect with creativity and joy in teaching
✨ Leave each week with a little more clarity, courage, and calm

FAQs
Who qualifies as an “interpreter educator”?
What a great question. An interpreter educator is anyone who provides direction, modeling, and or instruction to fellow interpreters. I’m using this term to be quite broad in its definition.
What if I’m interested but not available on specific days?
Brilliant question – please email me and let me know days that might be better for you. (I am still developing this offer, so open to input!)
What is the language of the sessions?
It will depend upon the make up of registrants. We’ll decide as a unit what our shared language is for purposes of these sessions
What if I have other questions?
email me at arsmithstudios@gmail.com, I’ll keep adding to this section for others!
In some pilot interviews of interpreters, leaders, and educators in interpreting one of the main concerns of the respondents was quality – maintaining quality experiences for consumers, for sutdents learning and developing skills, and quality experiences for themselves as instructors/leaders – being able to do what they are passionate about in meaningful ways depsite the disruption of modality.
In this 7 week group coaching, we will focus on maintaining and increasing quality experiences for ourselves, students, and consumers alike.
Being present is a challenge and yet critical to the effectiveness of our work as educators & influencers. Being present in this new world, fully changed by the global pandemic, even more so. We will discuss presence and what it means to hold space for ourselves and our students in this time and beyond.
What values underpin your practice as an interpreter educator? Do you know? Do you filter your decisions, assignments, and influences through the lens of your values?
We will explore our individual and collective values and how they inform our practices.
We will be exploring all of these things through the lens of the phases of orientation (how things were), disorientation (how things are different than we expected), and reorientation (embracing the new normal and settling in). Though the pandemic is a significant example of this, this cycle actually plays out repeatedly in our careers.
