About the book

Training the Trainer – a resource book for teacher educators is part of the new Garnet Teaching Skills Kit series.

This book is a reference book for teachers who are interested in becoming teacher educators, either full time or as part of their work. It will also be of interest to existing teacher educators. Teachers with several years of experience are increasingly getting involved in teacher education by leading workshops within their own institutions or hosting webinars for a wider audience, perhaps via their teacher associations.

Equally, teachers are often interested in developing their careers by becoming trainers, such as Cambridge CELTA or Trinity CertTESOL trainers.

This book supports teachers in both categories, as well as those already working as teacher educators.

Key features:

  • Combines detail with practicality, so readers can consider why the suggested practice are effective.
  • Can be followed sequentially or in any order.
  • Discusses a train the trainer course framework and can form the basis of content used by readers.
  • Regular reflection opportunities built into the book.

  • What is teacher education?
  • Moving from teaching to training.
  • The training life cycle and planning training.
  • Designing workshops.
  • Managing challenges and issues.
  • Designing and delivering microtraining.
  • Observation and feedback.
