The Overall T-TEN Instructor Meeting Strategy
Training Objectives
· To provide practical instructional methods with curriculum development skills training that directly results in production of effective T-TEN program curricula, aligned with the occupational requirements required to be a Toyota or Lexus technician.
· To provide practical instructional methods with product development skills training that directly results in the development of effective Recruiting methods
Community Objectives
· In this event, the T-TEN Instructor Community members are participating in development activities outside of Toyota-organized meetings. These activities are primarily centered on developing curricula and processes that will improve outcomes for our T-TEN Students in individual schools and nationwide.
· T-TEN Instructors helping T-TEN Instructors produce T-TEN program assets that deliver excellent instruction at our respective T-TEN schools is our core objective.
· Strengthen our Community by joining T-TEN Instructors together through open communication and sharing of ideas.
T-TEN Instructor Community Development
In the summer of 2009, a few T-TEN schools started working together to create curriculum. It was quickly determined that training was needed to create the instructional assets that instill valuable skills in our students. With the approach adjusted and lessons learned, the word spread throughout the T-TEN schools. Our focus grew from a few individual schools working together into helping the entire T-TEN Instructor Community affect the lives of all T-TEN students.
Fast forward to today where instruction is being provided by Facilitators that are T-TEN Instructors from schools across the nation. These events are planned and executed by Instructor Community members. Our focus is on nationwide program development of the entire T-TEN Instructor Community.
T-TEN Instructor Community Course List
The T-TEN instructional development for this event is focused on creation of useable work products in the form of curricula, program assets, and developing tools to improve the Instructor’s effectiveness. Course assignments for attendees will be made according to instructors’ needs determined by the T-TEN Field Managers. Contact your Field Manager to discuss which course you would benefit most from.
These core courses have been developed by the community over the past five years and serve as the foundation of T-TEN program development. Instructors currently involved in development should have attended all these offerings with the exception of "Development Lab". The Development Lab is being opened for those programs at a critical stage of the development process. This narrowly focused activity should only be attended by programs preparing for validation or entree in 2016.
For last year's event, several new courses were developed based on feedback received from the T-TEN Instructor Community. These courses are targeted to address challenges faced by T-TEN instructors daily, and will offer skills and strategies that insure more successful programs. Additionally, insight into higher-level program and community initiatives are also offered.
All course assignments will be made in conjunction with the T-TEN Field Managers.

If you have an idea for the Community to take into consideration, contact your T-TEN Field/Area Manager or your T-TEN Regional Coordinator and talk with them about your ideas. You may be asked to be part of the production team that develops your idea into a course for your community members.
