EPLI Veteran Trainer Mentors
Congratulations to everyone that participated in the EPLI Trainer Process last year! We are excited to have a new cohort of trainers!
A valuable part of EPLI last year was the participation of many experienced trainers who provided guidance, trainer tips, and tidbits to those new to the role of EPLI Trainer of START Content. One of the most requested trainer supports is a connection to a veteran trainer as a mentor. We ask you to consider the following:
RCN Leadership:
- Take stock of your current active EPLI Trainers of START Content. Who are your experienced, veteran trainers in each module? Who just completed the EPLI process last year?
- Reach out to your new EPLI Trainers and invite them to attend an RCN meeting or an RCN-sponsored training to begin to meet current trainers
New or Reactivated EPLI Trainers (as of the 2021-2022 school year):
- If you have not been in contact with your RCN leadership already, reach out to your RCN leadership to let them know that you completed the EPLI Trainer process. Ask about sitting in on a training to observe and meet veteran trainers within the RCN.
Current/Veteran EPLI Trainers:
- Reach out to a new EPLI Trainer of START Content to welcome them to the role and see if they have any questions or concerns that you can answer.
Making connections between veteran and new trainers not only provides support and encouragement to those new to this role, but it also can reenergize current trainers through the sharing of innovative ideas, perspectives, examples, and stories!
