Face-to-Face Sessions 1 & 2

WHAT, WHERE, and WHEN?

CALPRO will conduct the Training-of-Trainers (ToT) Institute for the new community of practice (CoP) on Fundamentals of Adult Education Instruction at the CALPRO office in Sacramento on Monday and Tuesday, June 23-24, 2025. The online Moodle course for this ToT Institute opens on June 2, 2024. The purposes of the ToT Institute are:

1. To develop a group of certified trainers to facilitate presentations of CALPRO professional learning modules

2. To build professional development capacity and leadership in California adult education.

WHAT IS CALPRO’S COMMUNITIES OF PRACTICE INITIATIVE AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT THE ToT?

Communities of Practice are formed by groups of professionals who engage in a process of collective learning in a shared domain (Wenger, 2002). CALPRO’s Communities of Practice (CoP) Initiative aims to increase the field’s focus on supported implementation of skills, strategies and action plans that participants develop in CALPRO trainings and institutes.

For each CoP training, an online community is established. Participants meet each other and begin learning together online; they continue to build community, knowledge and skills in the face-to-face training sessions; and they have the option of continuing to support each other’s efforts to apply new learning after the conclusion of the face-to-face sessions. CALPRO CoP trainers facilitate the entire process, including online and face-to-face sessions.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The ToT is open to applicants from all California Adult Education Program (CAEP) funded agencies. The ToT is for individuals who will commit to following up on the ToT by facilitating the CoP for CALPRO at least once within a year of the ToT.
