Barbara,

I would be interested in hearing more about this.  What is the topic 
and what are the objectives.  Have the instructors identified 
exploration -- or change -- objectives for their practice? What are the 
activities in which they are engaged, and over what period of time?  
Which ones are face-to-face?  Which are on-line? What tools from CASAS 
have you used that you like -- and what about them in particular do you 
like?

I -- and perhaps others here have a hunger for the details of sustained 
professional development.
