We'd be glad to send a speaker to your school district for teachers' in-service meetings or other training sessions.  The cost is free for school districts within 30 miles of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex.  If you are outside of this area, arrangements can be made in exchange for reasonable travel reimbursement.  If you are interested, please e-mail!
