Every strong direct care team has someone who naturally teaches others the ropes — but knowing the work and knowing how to train adults to do the work are two very different skill sets. DCTRC’s Train-the-Trainer for Instructor Development course closes that gap, giving experienced staff the instructional tools to become confident, effective trainers.
Built around Michigan’s strategic training goals, the course is grounded in real instructional design principles — not guesswork. Trainers learn the six principles of adult learning (andragogy), how to design participatory sessions, and how to facilitate groups without losing balance or control. From there, the course moves into practical territory: choosing the right training method, managing disruptive learners, building reasonable accommodations into a session, and designing a full training plan from measurable objectives through delivery and evaluation.
What sets this course apart is its emphasis on application. Trainers don’t just absorb theory — they build a mini-lesson plan, practice a teach-back, give and receive real feedback, and leave with a personal Trainer Action Plan they can put to work immediately.
The result is a training program that improves consistency, raises the quality of caregiver instruction, and strengthens outcomes across your organization — all through a course that’s free to enroll.
