SUBJECT:
CLINICAL EDUCATOR TRAINER PREPARATION
The purpose of this memorandum is to announce registration for a

Trainers to conduct the training program in locally delivered workshops.
Program Description: Clinical Educator Trainer Preparation (CET)
This newly revised program prepares trainers to deliver modules that develop clinical skills for
assisting teachers in both the classroom setting and the student service setting. Areas addressed
by this program include diagnosing performance of educators and students, providing feedback
on professional performance, and preparation and implementation of professional development
plans.
A prerequisite for attending this trainer preparation session is previous completion of the Clinical
Educator Training for supervising teachers, which is required for all district personnel and
teachers (including school psychologists, guidance counselors and school social workers) who
supervise or direct teacher preparation students during field experience courses or internships.
