Highroad Professional Development
On a Quest for Professional Excellence
Services
The Great Teachers Model of facilitating productive "shoptalk" has been successfully applied to professional learning for very diverse as well as very specific groups of participants. Half-day or full-day workshops, three-day and week-long retreats, and customized seminars can be arranged and held at clients' selected locations. For details and cost estimates, please contact the event coordinator by e-mail at HighroadPD@gmail.com.
Peers learn best from one another. In essence, the most influential person to any "frontline" professional is another "frontline" professional, actively engaged in their work.
