The results of the study were as follows: 1) the developed training course consisted of four elements, i.e., objectives, content, learning experiences, and evaluation, 2) the results of the effectiveness validation of the developed training program of 20 teachers revealed E1 = 83.88 and E2 = 85.80, 3) the results of the training course construction with the 20 teachers show that the post-training score exceeded the pre-training score, and 4) in regard to the outcomes of the follow-up based on the training opinions and recommendations after the training was conducted, the overall picture of reveals high levels in all aspects.
