ICARE Advanced Train the Trainer Institute (ATTI) 2019

The ICARE Project aim is to empower IACUCs and their institutions to maintain highest quality animal care and use and to increase compliance with federal standards while minimizing regulatory burden. The Interagency Collaborative Animal Research Education (ICARE) Project https://olaw.nih.gov/education/icare-interagency uses active learning pedagogy which has been shown to increase effectiveness of adult education in factual and theoretical understanding of scientific and ethical issues by engaging the learner in activities that require the application of high-level concepts.

The 2019 Advanced Train the Trainer Institute (ATTI) will be held on April 1, 2019 in Seattle, WA. The ATTI offers advanced training in the use of active learning, backward design, and scientific teaching applied to IACUC training. The 2019 ATTI curriculum will support IACUC trainers, administrators, and compliance personnel that have attended a Train the Trainer Institute (TTI) in advancing their training skills so they may further empower institutions to reduce regulatory burden while increasing compliance with federal standards and improving humane animal care and use in biomedical research programs.

Participation in the ATTI is open to those who have completed one of the five ICARE TTIs held July, August, October 2016 in Bethesda, MD; April 2017 in Seattle, WA; and February 2018 in Atlanta, GA. If you have not attended a TTI, please join us for this basic training before registering for an ATTI.

The agenda for the ICARE Advanced Train the Trainer (ATTI) includes:

Successes and Challenges in Our Active Learning Programs
What the Data Say About TTI
Backward Design Blitz
Deeper Dive into Formative Assessment
Resources and Enhancing Implementation
Open questions and additional session(s) will be determined by a survey of registrants
