Upon educator request, this program can provide speakers, judges, consultants, academic mentors and shadow experiences. We can also provide consultants and guest speakers for teacher in-service training.

• These forms may also be ponied to you from the CRB.

Or, you can check out our FirstClass Conference. Information can be found in the Curriculum Folder under Connection Resource Bank. There, you will find folders that contain:

• Instructions on requesting a resource (See "How To Use CRB" folder).
• Request forms (Go to "Request Forms" file cabinet).
• Suggestions for planning your special events such as a Career Day or Science Fair (See Planning Tips folder.)
• Listings of special resources (See Special Resources folder.).

Teachers may also ask about resources and communicate with us through the FirstClass conference or by contacting the coordinator.

We look forward to working with you.
