Housing:

• We will make your hotel reservations and provide meals during the live session.
• Hotel costs will be higher in Colorado than Alabama, so we will bill when we make the reservations.
• We are suggesting you plan on $325 for hotel and meals, but we will do our best to come in lower than that.

Materials

• All participants are required to order their training track workshop manuals and other books from FedEx before the workshop begins. Adult Reading and Writing participants are required to have the current Laubach Way to Reading (teacher and student) Books 1 and 2
• The Partnership will order workshop guidelines and supplemental materials to be delivered before the workshop begins
