This program is by request. 

We offer Professional Development Packages comprised of 7 sessions via live interactive video conferencing or webinar. These include 7 one-hour session, each with a different INK author. Each author presents an exciting overview of his or her expertise, and offers substantive and entertaining ways the teacher can link his or her titles to the subjects the teacher is interested to include in the curriculum.


Price: $60.00 per attendee per session. Therefore the total fee per persons for all 7 sessions would be $420.00.


We also offer classroom visits to the professional development sessions above for $500 per site (we can give simultaneous presentations at more than one site). The number of students is limited only by the size of the room.


We offer various combinations of professional development packages and classroom visits, depending on your needs and interests but these are the basics.


Please give me your interests and questions and I'll help you develop a package suited to your needs.


Sincerely yours,


Susan Schulman
