Important
changes for 2010
We will have a couple of new courses
for Summer 2010
Engagement thru Technology - see description below
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
3 graduate semester hours through Walsh University
This graduate course was designed by Gary Kandel, M.Ed. to help
educators develop new and varied strategies for meeting the needs of
the 21st century student. Participants will examine practical and
engaging forms of technology that enhance learning and student
engagement. Participants will also develop strategies to enhance
overall student engagement in the classroom while also identifying
their own strengths and adapting those to the current reality of the
21st century classroom its students. (This course does not require
participants to have a strong background in using technology.)

order
on the first day of class, made out to "Communicate Institute"
Are there discounts? Yes, two types.
Group Discount: We offer a $30 per person per 3 hr. course
when 4
or
more registrations for the same class
are enclosed in one envelope
or called in at the same time. If a group member cancels, holds,
or
transfers the discount does not apply if
group
falls below four. You may replace a group member with someone not
already
registered and enrolled for the course.
Also, we offer a substitute teacher discount of
$30 per class. An original
letter on school letterhead signed by
a building principal or central office administrator verifying that you
are a current substitute must
be submitted with the registration.
Weather Concerns for
Winter Classes ???
Some of you may be wondering if we will have
class if the weather is an
issue- the answer is most likely yes. It is rare that we ever
cancel or postpone a class due to weather. There are several reasons
for this:
1) Most major roads are cleared and most of our locations are just off
major highways.
2) Canceling one day is 20% of the total class time which is a
significant amount. It is not the same as canceling a school day
in which you have 180 days or a college class spread out over 15 weeks.
3) Also, holding a makeup day is rarely convenient for everyone.
4) Most school snow days are called because of busing concerns or
children walking in the snow and cold, not because the adults cannot
make it to school.
However, if we would get severe conditions that make driving extremely
hazardous then we will e-mail you and post the cancellation on the home
page of our web site to inform you of a cancellation or a delayed start
time. In other words- no news is good news ! It is not
necessary to call us since it ties up our attempt to contact everyone.
Also, we understand that people differ in their perception and comfort
level handling various driving conditions. Thus, if we are having class
and you deem conditions too severe for your comfort level, then please
do not attempt to drive. You can miss up to one day without having to
reschedule at another date/location. You will be required to do make up
work for the day missed or attend that day at another location/date.
We believe our policy is fair given the limitations of a condensed
course format. We thank you for understanding.
Also, we still have openings so please notify your colleagues that they
can still register, but they should not just show up because we may not
have enough openings. They should call 330-833-7986 immediately if they
wish to attend .
If you only paid a $50 deposit the balance is due the first day by
check or money order. The balance would be $480.
Also, if you are not sure of the location you can find directions by
going to our web site and clicking on the link Maps &
Directions <http://www.communicateinstitute.com/Locationmaps.shtml>
Make sure you have the correct hotel.
We hope you have an engaging and beneficial experience.
Sincerely,
C.I.T.D.
Register early
to avoid being shut out or class cancelled !
We highly encourage you to send your deposit in as early as possible
since it helps us get to a firm committed number to hold the class.-
There is no risk to you and every advantage. If we don't hold the
class you can receive a full refund. In order to hold a class we
usually need a minimum of 12 and sometimes 15 people.
Furthermore, we make a decision on whether we have enough to hold a
class about 10-12 days prior to the start date.
Also, each location has a maximum number we will accept. In some cases
class get filled and we have to turn people away.
Thus, if you want to take a class the two best things you can do are to
send your registration in early and inform your colleagues and
encourage them to attend as well. Thank You !
