ELWC Training for Trainers

Building Confidence and Expertise as a STEM Educator and Trainer is a Training for Trainers for 12 Black, Indigenous, Latinx/Latino, Asian, and Pacific Islander (BIPOC) educators who want to become an Early STEM Master Trainer and/or Community Trainer.

This project is a partnership between Early Learning Washington County, Community Action Child Care Resource & Referral and Portland Metro STEM Partnership.

This program is designed to grow the pool of Multilingual Early STEM Master Trainers and/or Community Trainers in Washington County.

*  This is a Set 2 training.

Materials will be available in English and Spanish. Sessions will have breakout rooms hosted in Spanish and rooms hosted in English

The Early Learning Washington County Training for Trainers

Through the participation in this multilingual cohort educators will deepen their Early STEM knowledge as well as adult learning principles related to STEM education. They will learn how to refine an existing workshop based on the strengths and needs in their communities, develop, and grow their facilitation skills, and learn from facilitators and other educators to include culturally and linguistically responsive practices.
