In looking for ways to multiply opportunities for Pro-D chairs, and help provide materials to develop great sessions for staff, DRC has ordered a number of professional development resources that come with a CD, video, DVD and/or facilitator's guide. This is a cost-effective way to provide access to some well-respected speakers. The cost to schools is zero, but gives all the benefits of bringing in a current "big name."
You can find these resources by checking out the DRC catalog, and looking in the Resource Lists (select "Public list" tab) for "Speaker in a box."
