Planning your Professional Development
and Scheduling a Workshop

“The follow-up visits are wonderful. I have seen ourselves grow and benefit tremendously from this follow up after the formal workshops. I am confident that our school is ready to apply to become a Visitation School. Although all the workshops have been wonderful, the continuity of visits has been an invaluable professional development investment!”

  1. Become acquainted with the workshops we offer.
  2. Contact the Core Knowledge Foundation to discuss the needs of your school and which workshops will best meet those needs.

  5. Once your completed Workshop Information Form has been received, the K-8 Professional Development Coordinator will send a Letter of Confirmation that outlines the workshop and materials fees. This Letter of Confirmation must be signed and sent back to the Foundation with a hard copy of a purchase order for the entire amount.
  6. Your workshop is considered "scheduled" after the signed Letter of Confirmation and purchase order have been received. Please submit these documents at least six weeks prior to the scheduled workshop date to avoid additional fees.
