K-12 Workshop Trainer

We're looking for workshop trainers in the Portland area, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Gresham, Lake Oswego, and Vancouver. The work is leading classroom management workshops for K-12 teachers and school staff.

A workshop might run a whole day or a few hours, at a school or on a video call. The Center for Teacher Effectiveness has offered this training since 1993, and more than 400,000 educators have attended, from every one of the 50 states.

Many of our trainers are classroom teachers and administrators right now. They lead workshops on evenings, weekends, personal days, and during the summer.

Trainers work as 1099 independent contractors. We don't guarantee hours, and your number of workshops will vary. A training day typically pays $1,000 or more, with payment sent every Friday.

Most workshops get booked by schools a trainer reached out to. You'll learn that outreach in certification, and your National Director handles the contract and negotiation once a school is interested. There are no territories here. Train in your own district, elsewhere in Oregon or Washington, or out of state, in person or online.

Before your first workshop you'll complete the Weekend Certification. It's virtual and takes two weekends, with 36 hours over three days, and it qualifies for 4 graduate credits through UMass Global. Orientation, workshop materials, and ongoing support are included.

Current and former K-12 teachers are a good fit, and so are counselors, coaches, principals, and other educators. Students can apply too if they plan to finish certification.
