How to Get Started with the Trainer Competencies
How to Get Started with the Trainer Competencies
A good place to start is by reading through the first level of each competency domain and assessing what you would like to focus on first. You may also choose to complete the trainer self-assessment through your Colorado Shines PDIS account. Use the Taking the Self-Assessment in My Professional Development Plan how-to guide to learn how. Many of the trainer competencies can be gained by completing two Department-approved trainings: Training Design and Adult Learners. Both are offered as free online self-paced courses on PDIS. Completing these two courses is a great way to explore your interest in becoming an early childhood trainer.
