We have extra funds for PD and don’t know the best
way to spend it. We hear about things like RTI, Common Core, and
PLC. How do we make sure they all work together?
We need to fine-tune the process of our unique efforts

After you and your rep have found the perfect match, work with us to contract your date. ??
?How far in advance should I book my PD?
We book dates as far in advance as two years and as close as two weeks before. We recommend that you try for sometime in between.
After your day is contracted, work directly
with your presenter to prepare.
A typical workshop lasts six to seven hours, including time for lunch
and breaks.
Tailor your session to address specific
issues your school is experiencing.
Share a list of your staff’s questions and concerns.
Your feedback is extremely valuable to us and ensures that we make the perfect match every time.
We’ll provide you with tools to collect staff feedback, to share the results, and to discuss
what worked.

about a workshop.” —Patricia Leatherman, teacher,
