| Ms. Devon Roberts - Owner, Consultant, Trainer and Scopist After I began scoping in 2006, I discovered that there was a void in the field of scoping where scopists needed additional training, practice and feedback on their work. Because my educational background involved curriculum development along with implementation and accountability, I knew I had the skills to develop my own scoping training program to include a scoping intern program. In May of 2008 was when Scoping Made Affordable (SMA) began training scopists. The SMA curriculum has been copyright protected and has been successfully training scopists since 2008. Because of the changing dynamics of the court reporting field, hopefully in January of 2012, SMA will begin enrolling scoping students for advanced editing training with the intent to graduate as a "realtime scopist." In order to secure longevity for scopists who are just entering the field, this is the logical progression. |
