Is there a regulation describing/defining Sergeant's Time Training?

Edit: I am using the current Army Pubs 350-1, dated 10 Dec 2017

I'm currently in the BN S3, and I've been directed to inspect the Companies on a few topics. I was able to find references and items to compare against in 350-1 for most of the topics I'm reviewing (Weapons, DTMS, etc), but I can't find any resources to grade the Company against for "Sergeant's Time Training".

The closest thing I can find is "Army Warrior Tasks" in 350-1, but that is a separate topic of my inspection and I'm not sure that that applies to STT. My 1st line and I don't understand the distinction, if there even is one.

My only real interaction with STT is a couple of "Hey you, teach a class on Land Nav/React to Contact. I want a CONOP by COB". No regulatory guidance required.

Edit: After review (At suggestion of SGT Gunderson below), I found 1 paragraph titled Sergeant's Time Training in Chapter 5-11, which (paraphrasing) says that STT should be emphasized by the CDR and supports the unit's MET's.

Edit 2/AAR: Thank you to everybody who responded. The inspection went well, and I ended up mixing your suggestions. I printed off the Company METL's, inspected the Companies' history of STT and planned STT against the METL, made sure they were keeping track via sign-in rosters as necessary, and uploading into DTMS. Your guidance is/was much appreciated!

AR 3501-1 covers, specifically, Sergeants Time Training in chapter 4.

I think I can point you in the right direction on this one. 350-1 pretty much points you to the METL to draw from. That is the right place to start. You would try to pull your company's METL crosswalk. This should tell you the tasks you should be working on as a unit. This will usually drop down to a section or individual. This is something that you can find on CATS. But I am a huge fan of the Central Army Registry, CAR. It is a part ATN. You can actually look up a document called Individual Critical Task List. This is a list of the task by MOS and skill level that you should be trained on. This is where we find the list of task that an individual should be trained on before they move onto collective tasks. The link is below. You can filter it to the type of document you are trying to find.

Sergeant Time Training isnt a task by itself to be evaluated on, it is time blocked off to ttain on individual and collective tasks up to the squad level. It should augment the training calendar, for example, squad attack if live fires are coming up, or use the EST before qualifications.
As for grading people, each task the Army develops has a Training Outline & Evaluation that lists everything to do in order, what training aids are required, and conditions tje task should be trained in. You can find these on ATN, CATS, or DTMS. The Soldier Manual of Common Tasks is a great resource for STT.

If you're in a FORSCOM unit, this is now referred to as LTT (Leaders Time Training). A memo came out about 2 years ago detailing how and when LTT would be performed at all FORSCOM units.
