This map will serve as a comprehensive guide for professional development, recruitment, and performance evaluation, helping to ensure that educators are equipped with the necessary competencies to excel in their roles. Building on the competency map, the EP Fellow will design and implement a tailored training and professional development program for non-credentialed educators. This program will include workshops, seminars, online modules, and mentoring opportunities aimed at enhancing educators' skills in areas such as conflict resolution, relationship-building, trauma-informed practices, and positive behavior management strategies. The program will be designed to be accessible, engaging, and relevant to the specific needs of educators working to improve culture, attendance, and behavior in schools. The EP Fellow will establish an evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of the competency maps and training programs in supporting non-credentialed educators. This framework will include measures such as pre- and post-training assessments, feedback surveys from participants, qualitative interviews with educators and school leaders, and analysis of outcome data related to school culture, attendance rates, and behavior incidents.
