Trainer-in-Training (TnT) Program
Thank you for your interest in becoming a BE GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition
Design) Certified Agency Trainer (CAT). The Trainer-in-Training Program was developed as
an avenue for schools, districts and educational agencies to build capacity and internally
support the effective implementation of the GLAD professional development model.
Prior to applying to the Trainer-in-Training Program, please make sure you meet the
prerequisites listed below. In addition, please familiarize yourself and your agency of
employment with the enclosed documents. Understanding expectations, commitments,
timelines, and responsibilities are essential for successful certification as a Certified Trainer.
You can anticipate completing the program and becoming authorized to train educators in the
initial GLAD model within your agency of employment within 18-24 months from completing
your TnT Trainee Sessions with BE GLAD. The agency of employment is defined as a district,
zone, or charter school system. Please identify on your application if you are employed with a
different type of educational agency or are a individual trainer unaffiliated with an agency.
