    CLINICAL EDUCATOR TRAINER PREPARATION SESSION
     
     
    The purpose of this memorandum is to announce registration for a
    Clinical Educator Trainer Session
     
    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 this trainer preparation session is previous completion of the Clinical
    Education Training (Participant Level) for supervising teachers. This first level of training is provided at
    the school district level. It 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 final internships.
