Why Tiered Pricing?

We believe that professional development for arts educators should be available and accessible to all. Towards that core belief, the NDI Collaborative is using tiered pricing. This is an intentional effort to offer equitable pricing to individuals and organizations, so everyone can have access to our trainings.
