Facilitator Retreat – Still time to Register!
Have you registered to attend the annual facilitator retreat? If not, hurry because space is limited! The cutoff date to receive the discounted hotel rate is March 30, so make your hotel reservations and register to attend!
The annual facilitator retreat will be held April 8 & 9 in Houston, TX. The retreat is designed for facilitators who support transformation within schools and districts; across and among cities, states and regions, as well as internationally. This is not a seminar on how to be a facilitator, but instead an opportunity for people who are facilitating to come together, get feedback on their work, and continue to grow in their own practice.
Click here to learn more about the agenda and intended purpose, learn about logistics and costs, and register to attend. Capacity is limited so register now if you plan to attend! Have questions? Email Kari (kari@schoolreforminitiative.org).

Resource Book Price Increase
In January 2014, we released the version 3.0 of the SRI Resource and Protocol Book, and it was updated last year to reflect compliant language following the trademark lawsuit. We intend to release version 4.0 in Spring of 2017.
Due to increased printing and storage costs of the current version, we will be increasing the price of the resource book to $22, plus shipping, starting July 1, 2016. The book will continue to sell at the current price of $20, plus shipping, until June 30, 2016.
