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!”

- Core Knowledge staff will take care of all consultant travel arrangements and the shipping of materials for the scheduled workshop. Materials should arrive approximately one week prior to the workshop.

- If the school cancels or changes the scheduled workshop date(s), the school will be responsible for paying a cancellation fee equal to 10 percent of the total amount originally due.
