Master Trainer Workshops

Workshops alone do not build organizational capacity. Management must commit to providing ongoing training and supports. TEIP Master Trainer Workshops are the first step in building those organizational supports. Master Trainer workshops build organizational capacity for evidence-informed practice by delivering on-site, train-the-trainer events, reinforced by post-workshop supports from TEIP.

Master Trainer Workshops are participatory and interactive workshops designed to:

• Teach how and when to apply the TEIP Tools (Each full-day workshop introduces one Tool: Assessment, Evidence and Evaluation)
• Create local champions who can support the application of TEIP Tools
• Assess and monitor impact on practitioner and organizational capacity for evidence-informed practice

How to bring Master Trainer Workshops to your organization:

1. Assess level of managerial support to use TEIP Tools to build organizational capacity for evidence-informed practice.
• Determine how Master Trainers and staff will be supported to use TEIP Tools
• Identify divisions / teams wanting to participate in TEIP Master Training
• Select staff to receive training (between 5-25 participants)
2. Complete the TEIP MT workshop application form


3. Organization’s responsibilities

• Provide refreshments and lunch (or designate event as brown bag)
• Assign a key contact person to work with TEIP to:
  • Reserve workshop date(s)
• Organize workshop logistics (equipment, room set-up etc.)

4. TEIP’s responsibilities
