Building Capacity through Training of Trainers
Why attend this Trainers Institute?
We know that time and budget restraints do not always allow for scheduling onsite training with a Learning-Focused Instructional Specialist. Wouldn't it be convenient for a member of your school or district to host multiple training sessions throughout the year to meet your needs better? If you have already advanced your knowledge on accelerating learning and want to be certified to present Learning-Focused workshops in your school or district, then Training of Trainers is for you.
Learning-Focused Training of Trainers Institutes provide a pathway to advance knowledge of how exemplary practices and strategies are connected through a planning process and move implementation to the next level. Ideal for coaches, trainers, administrators, or anyone who wants to advance their knowledge, increase the quality of implementation, gain a deeper understanding of what has the most direct impact on student learning, and learn more strategies to enhance teaching effectiveness.
