SPECIAL OFFER: Recognizing that the JASON Project encourages team teaching using an interdisciplinary curriculum, we will offer a special discount for teams of teachers. The first teacher from a team pays full noncredit price ($80, $60, or $30) and all additional teachers from that school pay half price ($40, $30, or $15). All participants taking the course for credit must still pay the additional $35 (two-day workshop) or $20 (one-day workshop) credit portion of the program.

TEAM TEACHERS MUST REGISTER AT THE SAME TIME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OFFER.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN THE DENVER AREA TO PARTICIPATE IN JASON! Now schools anywhere in Colorado or neighboring states can receive modified versions of the live broadcast right in their classrooms. Curricula, videos, online programs, and teacher training are also available, regardless of your geographic location.
