Group sizes & pricing
How pricing works — the bigger the group, the lower the price
From $35 per educator per hour in person and $25 online (coming soon). Per-educator pricing drops as the group grows: 5% off from 10 attendees, 20% off from 50.
Longer sessions lower the hourly rate, and bigger groups lower it again. At the far end, from $16 per educator per hour for large online groups of 50+, 8-hour programs (coming soon). The tables below come from the same price list as your quote.

Most-requested add-on
Add extra time for questions — the Q&A block
Yes — you can add a group Q&A block to any training. People almost always want more discussion once a session ends, so present it as a one-tap opt-in on your quote. It extends the live session into shared reflection for your whole team — group reflection, not 1:1 coaching — so everyone leaves with answers grounded in your own classrooms.
Directors love this line: “At 20 attendees, 30 minutes of Q&A adds $150 for the whole group, about $8 per educator.” Toggle it on when you build your quote.
