The Accreditation Program

 

What is the Accreditation Program?

The Program is designed to assist ITC members "to attain a standard of knowledge and competence [which] involves ….. a planned process of measurement or assessment against a pre-determined standard". (POWERtalk Master Manual)

It provides –

. stimulation and motivation

. milestones of achievement

. growth in listening, speaking and organisational skills

The requirements for the 5 levels are clearly set out in the POWERtalk Master Manual Project Basics Section 3. Section 8, Accreditation Basics, explores the philosophy of accreditation and is well worth reading, and full of helpful information.

The full program can be accessed in the Master Manual POWERtalk International 2nd ed. 2006 http.//www.powertalkinternational.com/>Resource Centre>select category> Master Manual Projects Basics - Section 3.1-3.5, 3.6.2, 3.6.3, and Accreditation Basics – Section 8.

Accreditation Chairmen at all levels are experienced members of ITC. Your club chairman, given at least 1 week’s notice, will, in consultation with you, your program officer, and possibly the meeting’s general evaluator, certify the satisfactory completion of assignments at club level.

For example, the Accreditation Chairman of Council 9 is Christine Hardy christinehardy2001 @yahoo.com.au, phone 96391888). Christine and her committee will accredit assignments performed at council level, having been notified no less than 2 weeks prior to the council meeting of the assignments to be undertaken, and the appropriate level.

Region chairman is Anne Sippo (bsippo@shoal.net.au, phone 02.4215338). She and her committee will be available at Region Conference, and, given at least 30 days notice prior to the conference, will accredit assignments at the appropriate level of achievement.

The ITC International chairman requires advance notice of 60 days prior to the convention, as this level involves an oral examination.

Region has introduced the following incentives to encourage monitoring, and to retain membership.

During the period April to March, clubs with the most members going through to the next level in the Accreditation Programme will receive the following Awards –

First place will receive $100

Second place " " $ 70

Third place " " $ 40

This could be used by clubs for PREM activities – publicity, recruitment, education, mentoring etc.

All long-term members are urged to renew and revive their enthusiasm and knowledge by becoming involved (or re-involved) in the Accreditation Programme. New members are encouraged to join the Programme to "attain a standard of knowledge and competence" which will stimulate and motivate them throughout their ITC experience, and beyond.

The Mentoring Mentality

The important message is that it is not about a mentoring relationship, but rather a mentoring mentality. You don't need a single mentor but rather a mindset that allows you to learn from those around you, no matter who they are.
