Master Trainer Trainee (MTT)

NCRTs who have the characteristics identified above may submit an application to become a Master Trainer. Following review and discussion with the ROMA Peer-to-Peer Project Director, the individual will become a Master Trainer Trainee (MTT).

The MTT will engage in an individualized process of learning the responsibilities of the Master Trainer role by completing the following steps:

• Attending/participating in two Train-the-Trainer Phase II sessions. This will provide experience with how the delivery of modules is presented to candidates in a training setting. It will provide an opportunity to deliver feedback and support to Candidates and to understand the activities and responsibilities of the Master Trainer in this setting.
• Assist Trainer Candidates to prepare to present during Phase II.
• Act as Mentor to Trainer Candidates during Phase III.
• Participating in Field Evaluation with a Master Trainer for two candidates. This will provide experience in documenting observations and establishing scores. Interaction with the project director will ensure observation notes and scoring habits are consistent across Master Trainers.
• Reviewing two NCRI Portfolios, providing comments and scores. This will provide experience with delivering responses to the prompts of the portfolio and will also improve understanding of the challenges individuals are facing related to implementation of the full ROMA Cycle.

Submission of a report of these steps will be the final activity of the MTT before certification as a Master Trainer.
