Core Teacher Trainers (CTs) earn the TESOL Core Certificate through participating in the 140-hour TESOL Core Certificate Program (TCCP) and 20-hour practicum. Additionally, they attend another two-week Training of Trainers Institute (TOT). CTs will then use what they have learned to train Regional Peer Mentor-Teachers (RPMs). Some may also receive training to become ESN Master Trainers and conduct the TESOL Core Certificate Program for their peers.
Regional Peer Mentor-Teachers (RPMs) participate in the Training of Trainers Institute, led by CTs, and assisted by TESOL/GMU. Through the duration of the program, they then work with roughly 10 secondary school English teachers per academic year through an intensive mentorship. Some may also receive the TESOL Core Certificate upon successful completion of the TESOL Core Certificate Program.
