  4. Along with the PD rate if you can get 2O OR MORE PARTICIPANTS that can greatly reduce your cost. • This can be 20 people from one district or many districts • This is called a Cohort. • Our online courses are a blended learning model. This means all classes are online and you meet at least once with a facilitator per class per semester. • The courses are all on BLACKBOARD. • The facilitator will decide the locations for meetings (some examples: local school library or media center at a school).
