ITTPC Reviewer Information

CRLA Reviewers are classified as Reviewer, Advanced Reviewer, or Master Reviewers based on current or former experience with a CRLA-certified program through ITTPC. Current Reviewers are ready to assist programs as they plan for and prepare for certification.

Reviewer requirements, process, and expectations:

Why become an ITTPC reviewer?

• It's fun and rewarding, and you get to see what creative things others are doing -- as you review programs, you get to see how others are meeting CRLA requirements.
• Networking with colleagues -- it helps you build and expand your connections with others as you work with new colleagues, local and remote.
• Attend conferences as an ITTPC rep. and share insights, resources, and best practices, explain the certification process, and help programs understand and meet the minimum standards established.
• You get to choose how much or little time you review and at your convenience.  We ask that you complete an average of one program review per month (12 /yr. min.).  You can even choose to skip a month or two completely, but should do at least one review every three months. Usually in Feb., March, and April, we ask that you do one or two each month as those are our busiest months as many programs are getting ready for their ceremonies.
• After a year of experience and completing at least twelve reviews, you will become a Certified Reviewer for CRLA's ITTPC program.  We have over 800 programs certified mostly in the US, some in Canada, and at least one in five other countries.
• Join other experienced and caring colleagues interested in volunteering some time to give something back to the field.  Attached above is a collection of pics of our current and past reviewers or here is a link to our current reviewers' names and institutions (at http://www.crla.net/ittpc/contact_information.htm).

• Reviewers must be current CRLA members.
• A minimum of two years direct training experience (current or former) with a CRLA certified program is required (or comparable experience). Levels to review is based on CRLA-certified program experience:
  • Reviewer for Level 1 only
  • Advanced Reviewer for Levels 1 & 2 only
  • Master Reviewer for Levels 1, 2, & 3
• A Commitment to review programs for at least one year and at least 12 program reviews during each year.
• If interested and the requirements above are met, complete and submit the online sign-up form for training.
• New reviewer training will be provided usually twice per year. See below for training times and prep needed prior to the training session!
• Once approved, new reviewers will be teamed with certified reviewers for mentoring the first few reviews of the first year of reviews.
• Reviewers will become a certified reviewer after completing the first year as a Reviewer and at least 12 reviews.

A Reviewer Training Session is required before becoming a reviewer. To attend a session, you will need to meet the above requirements, complete the online sign-up form, and before attending the reviewer training, be ready with the following at the training session:

Training Meeting Preparation:

Before the meeting please be prepared to answer some or all of the three questions below.  The answers come from the website areas at crla.net/ittpc/.  It is information needed for a reviewer:

• Please describe the differences of the three stages a program must go through for continuing certification.
• Please describe the differences in the requirements for tutors in the three levels of certification that ITTPC offers.
• Describe the expectations of ITTPC program reviewers, including what it takes to become a certified reviewer (see Reviewer info on the website).

 The session is to be an engaging, interactive session designed to provide you with the information, resources, and support you will need to answer questions, mentor people new to the certification process, and be able to review applications for CRLA's International Tutor Training Program Certification process.
