Workshop Interest Form
Please look over the list of workshops available from the Staff Development Institute. We really need your input to determine which ones we should offer in the Spring. I have also allowed a space for you to indicate your interest in having any of these offered through the Resource Center for instructors. Remember: All Change Agent workshops have two parts: (1) 4-hour content module and (2) 4-hour training module.
