6. What if I have a very small group of teachers to train?
Several adjacent school districts have teamed to host a workshop. Institutions of higher education may be willing to host along with a school district. |

In the case of the technology workshop, a computer lab may be required along with a technician to assist before and during the workshop. Please discuss this with your presenter. |
