If you attend training at CERRA's headquarters, the cost to attend a curriculum training seminar is $750 per person. This fee includes ONE copy of Experiencing Education, all training materials, continental breakfast and lunch each day, and one-year's access to members-only materials on teachercadets.com. All travel arrangements are the responsibility of each participant, however CERRA maintains partnerships with area hotels to secure the lowest available rates.
