We are excited to announce that we will run our next Train-the-Trainer (TTT) program starting in November 2024. 

Applications are open until October 20th 2024 midnight CEST.

Based on popular request this Part 1 of the program will run over several weeks in a seminar-style fashion all ONLINE.

The TTT consists of 2 parts:

Part 1: Didactics
In this part we meet regularly online for 90-120 minutes (see schedule below):

  • Nov 4: Kick-off: Intro to DRA, how-to-trainer, determining sessions
  • Nov 5: Session with an expert on evidence-based training
  • Nov 15-21: TTT sessions where we teach each other (didactics sessions)
  • Nov 22: Course Development and Pitch Training
     

To finish part 1, each new trainer needs to participate in: 

  1. One Kick-Off session, 
  2. one evidence-based training session, 
  3. at least four didactics sessions, and 
  4. Creation + preparation of one didactics session. 



Part 2: Practicals (Dec '24 - Feb '25 - self-paced)
In this part we will put our new knowledge into practice by teaching a teaser course. Teaser courses may be taught alone or in pairs. The format and type of course can be chosen freely. At least two other trainers serve as peer reviewers and give feedback on the course.

To finish part 2, each new trainer needs to: 
(a) prepare and conduct a teaser course, 
(b) work in the feedback of reviewers into the course, 
(c) publish the course materials as part of the Digital Research Academy resource collection, and 
(d) serve as reviewer of at least two courses of peers.
 

The Train-the-Trainer program is free for prospective trainers of the Digital Research Academy. If you want to participate in the TTT but not become a DRA trainer, please get in touch.
