Mandt Instructor Training - July 9, 10, 11 & 12 

Maryland is very excited to implement the Mandt System as part of the DDA transformation. Over the next 24 months, there will be a steady transition to the Mandt System to allow the transition from Behavior Principles and Strategies (BPS). The first step is training new Mandt trainers. It will also include training direct support professionals on the new curriculum and revising behavior plans to reflect the new language and philosophy. 

We need your help as Directors to consider staff who would make good candidates for teaching the Mandt System and use the registration link to submit their name. Please follow the process below.

1. Consider your current BPS trainer as the preferred candidate, as he or she will be more familiar with much of the material.  

2. Select one person to attend. If your organization employs more than 300 people, you may select two instructors. The goal is to provide an opportunity for each agency.

3. Support their attendance by ensuring they attend all four days.

4. Preview the Mandt video and instructor page, if desired. BECOMING A MANDT INSTRUCTOR:

One to two weeks prior to the class your Professional Development Coordinator will send a confirmation to your candidate (see contacts to the left).  Sessions are limited to only 22 people, so we expect registration to fill quickly. If the session is filled, we will contact you about the next available session. Manuals will be provided for trainers, and student manuals are available to purchase or copy.

There will be 26 sessions added to the training calendar periodically. It may be helpful to bookmark the DDA Training calendar to your "favorites".  Below is the upcoming schedule of Train the Trainer sessions:
