Each school selects two staff members to serve as Affiliate Trainers (AT). Through the AT Program, participants gain the knowledge and skills necessary to implement eMINTS high-quality professional development with the 7-8th grade math, science, social studies, and language arts teachers in their building. ATs also learn techniques for working with adults and facilitating adult learning, building their capacity to deliver all types of PD at their schools.

Beyond the reward of being an agent of change and seeing the impact of their work on student achievement and engagement in their schools, ATs enjoy new professional opportunities. Affiliate Trainers become instructional coaches who are confident and collaborative communicators, designers and facilitators of adult professional learning and skilled professionals able to support educators and students in the modern day classroom.
