Train the Trainer

Train the Trainer (TTT) sessions are offered by the NTDC Project Team at no cost. The TTT is held virtually over the course of 4 days. Each day of training lasts for approximately 4 hours. In total, you will receive 16 hours of instruction focused primarily on the classroom-based content with guidance on the optimal way to train the NTDC classroom material.

TTT sessions are provided for those who will be facilitating the classroom-based NTDC curriculum. Attending a TTT session is not required; nor is there any certification process for facilitators. The NTDC materials provide clear direction and guidance to promote successful content delivery.

All General Child Welfare TTT sessions are currently full.

Words From Facilitators

I loved the material, especially the displays of understanding and the stories!

NTDC Facilitator

I appreciated the activities that tugged on my own emotions because it took a personal experience and related it to what kids in foster care experience but to a higher degree.

The “Real-Life” videos and examples are also excellent tools for empowering foster/adoptive parents.

Theme content incorporating many podcasts and real life videos will greatly enhance foster parent training.

Material is well organized, rich in content for families and easy to understand.
