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.
