Enrollment:

·         Enrollments will be taken up to 5 days before a workshop.  Local program directors need to send an enrollment form to Beth Gross at bgross@mail.ncmissouri.edu

  • Reservations can be made at the Howard Johnson at any time, up to one week prior to the workshop.  When making the reservation, it will be necessary to use a credit card.  Upon checking into the hotel, the room will then be placed on a direct bill to the PDC.  In the case of a cancellation, be sure to cancel the hotel reservation with the hotel and the enrollment with the PDC office.

  • DO NOT make reservations through third party on the internet.  Use the number above for reservations.

·         If there is a cancellation within 5-10 days prior to a workshop, a participant from the wait list will be contacted and added.

·         Up to 40 participants will be enrolled on a first come, first serve basis.

Controlling the temperature in meeting rooms to meet all participants’ comfort levels is often difficult.  We encourage participants to bring a light jacket and dress in layers.

Late Arrivals:

Please help your teacher arrive on time, plan ahead, check for highway construction, weather conditions, and time to travel.  In the event that a participant will not arrive on time, please call the hotel and leave a message for Jana Skopec.  The participant also needs to call the local program director to let him/her know the participant will be late.  Although 100% attendance is required for PD credit, a 15 minute grace period for the first day for participants driving in is allowed if there is notice to the presenters.  The PDC Director and the local program director will be in communication about the situation.

For More Information, look at the PDC Guidelines for Workshops
