RESUMO
This paper details the application of Benner's Novice to Expert Model to simulation educator knowledge, skills, and attitude for academic and practice settings. Facilitator development in the use of simulation methods is gaining more attention and support. If simulation is to continue to advance as a discipline, a theoretical basis is needed. The Novice to Expert Model provides the necessary conceptual structure to guide simulation facilitator development and assist in understanding learning trajectory. This theory-based approach that defines and operationalizes the five stages of development provides guidance for development resources, educational programs, and infrastructure needed at various program levels.

The NLN Leadership Development Program for Simulation Educators 2014 faculty development group identified a lack of a common language/terminology to outline the progression of expertise of simulation educators. The group analyzed Benner's novice-to-expert model and applied its levels of experience to simulation educator growth. It established common operational categories of faculty development and used them to organize resources that support progression toward expertise. The resulting theory-based Simulator Educator Toolkit outlines levels of ability and provides quality resources to meet the diverse needs of simulation educators and team members.
