Teaching the teachers

Train the trainer is a method of instruction where selected individuals learn skills or content so they can teach others in turn.

Organizations use this approach to spread knowledge efficiently: We're running a train-the-trainer session next week so department heads can roll out the new software to their teams.

The model multiplies teaching capacity while reducing reliance on outside experts.
