Workshops

Workshops are $1295; this includes ALL meals (not lodging)

CAWS is unique in offering dinner and a social hour each night as well as a lunch to go on the last day of the conference; no per diem is required (except for travel days)

All workshops take place at the Granlibakken Resort which is nestled amongst pine trees at 6250 feet elevation about a mile from the shores of Lake Tahoe, widely considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the world

The environment offers a special experience for IB training and many IB Educators treat this as an opportunity for a retreat, sending teams of teachers

Find options below to secure lodging and transportation from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport

Participants must attend all sessions to earn a certificate of completion
