Trainer for K-12 Teachers, Classroom Management

When a colleague down the hall has a class that won't settle, are you the person they come to? Teachers like that are who we hope to hear from in Detroit, Dearborn, Warren, Livonia, and Southfield.

As a trainer, you'd lead classroom management training for K-12 teachers and other school staff. A session takes a full day or part of one, either at the school or on video. The Center for Teacher Effectiveness was founded in 1993 and has trained more than 400,000 educators across all 50 states.

This is a 1099 independent contractor position with no guarantee of hours. The number of trainings varies, and some years are busier than others. Pay is typically $1,000 or more per training day, and you're paid each Friday.

Most trainings start with a trainer contacting a school. You'll learn how to make that contact during certification. When a school wants to book, your National Director drafts the contract and negotiates the details. Nobody is assigned a territory, so you might train in your own district, across Michigan, or in another state, on site or virtually.

The first step is our Weekend Certification, which happens online over two weekends for a total of three days and 36 hours. It's eligible for 4 graduate credits through UMass Global, and it includes orientation, the materials you'll train with, and support after you finish.

We look for current and former K-12 teachers, plus principals, coaches, counselors, and other educators. Most of our trainers still have school jobs and schedule trainings for evenings, weekends, personal days, and summer. Students may apply if they intend to finish certification.
