MOLO Train-the-Trainer Online Workshop

SWANA is holding a virtual Train-the-Trainer program for individuals interested in teaching the all-new Manager of Landfill Operations course, newly developed in 2021. The TTT program is open to current and prospective MOLO instructors.  

Via four, two-hour sessions, participants will learn about best practices and principles for teaching adult learners; receive an overview of the development of the new course, which is based on the new MOLO Body of Knowledge, a compendium of the knowledge, skills, and abilities required of today’s MOLOs; and review the 13 modules that comprise the current course.

Interested parties are required to attend (or view) the four online sessions. Click HERE to register for the series. After registering, registrants will receive a confirmation email containing the link to the sessions.   

• October 19, 2021, 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
• October 21, 2021, 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
• October 26, 2021, 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
• October 28, 2021, 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET
  

Anyone who cannot attend the live presentation of an online session will be required to view the online recording of a missed session(s).  

As a condition of becoming a certified MOLO instructor, prospective instructors are required to student-teach segments of a MOLO course under the auspices of SWANA-certified instructors, who will evaluate their performance. Prospective instructors are evaluated on a variety of criteria, including the use of professional teaching strategies; the use of exercises and learning activities to underscore learning objectives; how effectively course materials and resources are used; adherence to SWANA policies and procedures; classroom management skills, communication with students and co-presenter(s); time management; and professionalism.

Current MOLOs do not need to become certified on the new MOLO certification exam to teach the new MOLO course. However, prospective instructors who are not currently MOLO certified will be required to earn MOLO certification on the new MOLO exam to teach the new course.
