contents Educating the next generation of scientists in statistical methodology is an important task. Educating their instructors in statistical content knowledge and pedagogical knowledge is as important and provides an indirect impact of students' learning. Statisticians are in a place to lead train-the-trainer (TTT) programs in different methods. We present our instructor training program in Bayesian methods as an effective case study of a TTT model. In addition to describing the details of the structure of our training program, we share our experience in designing and implementing our program including the challenges we face, the opportunities created, and our recommendations for TTT programs led by statisticians.
