Travel Assistance Guidelines
Over the years, NDCI has been able to provide high quality professional development at a very low cost to participants. We continue that tradition with the following travel assistance guidelines effective this academic school year, 2007-2008.
Curriculum Handbooks
The Collaboration for Excellence project includes both publications and professional development workshops.
The publications consist of 12 separate handbooks on curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation. The purpose of these handbooks is to provide strategies for improving the curriculum—both planned and delivered—and ultimately student learning.
