The Exchange Certified Trainer (xCT) Program trains Education Service Center (ESC) and other education agency staff to help member districts identify high-quality instructional resources and integrate them into student curriculum. The program features quality tools, resources, and material reviews and draws on the current expertise of ESCs and their partners in delivering high-quality professional learning and the support of the Ohio Department of Education to accelerate learning and prepare students for future success.

The Exchange Certified Trainer Program is funded through Future Forward Ohio.
The content of the Exchange Certified Trainer Plus (xCT+) is the same as that of the Exchange Certified Trainer program, with the same desired outcomes. But in this version of the program, INFOhio also asks participants’ education agencies to report related sessions it offers to educators, as well as data that stem from those sessions. INFOhio shares the data with other program partners and the Ohio Department of Education to gauge program reach and impact.
As the Ohio Department of Education and program partners seek to measure program reach and impact, INFOhio asks each participating agency to complete the Exchange Certified Trainer Plus Report form for each related professional-learning session it offers educators. INFOhio will monitor submitted forms and award stipends quarterly for reported sessions.
