TRAC Curriculum Support and Resources
The TRAC Training is a professional development curriculum designed to enhance the skills of early childhood care and education providers. The curriculum, developed, evaluated and refined over the past 15 years, has proven quality and utility. The Teaching Research Institute offers Trainer Training and follow-up support to professionals implementing the curriculum. TRAC Trainer Training is supported by the Oregon Council on Developmental Disabilities.
TRAC is divided into five units and when completed in its entirety, provides 52 hours of training.

For TRAC Trainers: This section is designed to support TRAC trainers in the delivery of TRAC trainings. Trainers who completed the five-day TRAC Trainer Training session provided by the Teaching Research Institute received information and materials necessary to conducting their own trainings in the TRAC Foundation Unit and other supporting TRAC units. The trainer materials included training lectures, CDs with PowerPoint slides, DVDs that contain training videos, other materials that are used for activities that occur during the training, as well as forms that are used as part of the training.
