SUBJECT:
CLINICAL EDUCATOR TRAINER PREPARATION SESSIONS
The purpose of this memorandum is to announce registration for
Clinical Educator Trainer
Sessions
being sponsored by the Department of Education in support of efforts to increase the
supply of highly effective teachers. The program is intended to prepare Clinical Educator
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 these trainer preparation sessions 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.
