CALPRO will conduct the Training-of-Trainers (ToT) Institute for the new community of practice (CoP) on Evidence-Based Reading Instruction at the CALPRO office in Sacramento on Monday and Tuesday, June 22-23, 2026. The online Moodle course for this ToT Institute opens on June 1, 2026. 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.

The training includes asynchronous online work between June 1 and June 26, 2026, in addition to the following in-person sessions: 

•    Monday, June 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

The ToT is open to applicants from all California Adult Education Program (CAEP) funded agencies (see page 2). The ToT is for individuals who will commit to following up on the ToT by facilitating the CoP for CALPRO within a year of the ToT. 

WHAT ARE EXPECTATIONS OF PARTICIPANTS?

Participants will be expected to complete pre-Institute assignments online. Participants are expected to attend the entire ToT Institute – no exceptions – and demonstrate facilitation skills in practice sessions during the ToT. After completing the ToT, participants are expected to be available to facilitate training at CDE- or CALPRO-organized events within a year of the ToT. 

WHAT IS THE COST?

CALPRO will reimburse travel costs for all nominees accepted to attend the Training-of-Trainers Institute. CALPRO will cover in advance the cost of hotel rooms for the night of Sunday, June 21 and Monday, June 22 if travel is 50 miles or greater one-way between the individual’s home and the training location (2150 River Plaza Drive, Sacramento 95833). CALPRO will also provide working session morning refreshments and lunch each training day and will reimburse for dinner costs at the state rate. The only cost to your agency is your time to participate.
