2-7-14-30-60-90 -- Learn about a workshop that works!

Many training programs and workshops build up excitement and give hope to teachers...  then what happens six months later?
The training book is on the shelf or forgotten and the practices in the classroom look the same as last year.

XYD Foundation is a non-profit organization that fosters creativity.

The principal who has read Ken Robinson's book  Creative Schools might be looking for a training program that works (

2-7-14-30-60-90  (days for followup)
We suggest the following program:

A workshop
Two days later:  a telephone call to followup

One Week Later:  a visit to the classroom?  or a second phone call.  Make a video to establish a baseline "This is what I learned, this is what I plan to do and this is how I will get there."

2 Weeks later:  What has changed in the class?  A classroom visit or a telephone call.

4 weeks later:  Time for email support.

60 days later: a phone call with email support

90 days later:  an offer to video the changes.  "This is what I put in place."
