Maximize the use of DLC resources in your school. Attend our Train the Trainer Workshop, a professional development opportunity for staff from DLC member-schools that are interested in playing a more active role in providing DLC assistance and support in their local schools and/or districts. Local support capacity, in combination with DLC-provided support, has proven to help schools maximize their investment in DLC membership.

The January Train the Trainer Workshop will take place directly before the January OSPI Conference.

Clock Hours

Clock hours will be available through Puget Sound Center for those who attend the full event.

Workshop Highlights

Participants will:

• Receive in-depth training on DLC resources.
• Understand the alignment of DLC resources with the components of powerful teaching and learning.
• Learn coaching skills that promote wider use of DLC resources.
• Collaborate with colleagues to create a training outline for use in your school setting.

Schedule

Scheduled to take place directlly before the January OSPI Conference, the workshop will run from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. both days. Monday evening there will be a required, hosted reflection dinner. Please do not make arrangements to depart the workshop until after 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Travel, Lodging, and Food

Participants will need to arrange their own lodging and transportation. We planned our workshop around the OSPI January Conference, so you may be able to find a room within their room block at a reduced rate. More information can be found on the OSPI site: http://www.k12.wa.us/conferences/JanConf2008/. The DLC will provide meals and snacks during the event, including the hosted dinner Monday night. Participants are responsible for housing, travel, and any meals outside of the workshop.
