Every training is a First Ask in a different room.
A fair table, a tour host, a survey. Each one is an employer you are asking for something. If the first ask is too big, nothing after it works. So every team starts with The First Ask, then picks the training that fits the next event on the calendar.
1 spreadsheet.
Each training unlocks its own tab in The 5 Asks Spreadsheet. Everything rolls into 1 Year-End Report for Perkins V.
60 minutes or less.
Built for directors who do not have a half day to give.
Built live.
Your team leaves with something real, sent or set up before the session ends.
What these trainings are not.
Not a webinar you watch.
Your team builds for your own district in every session.
Not new software.
Everything runs in the Google or Microsoft account you already use.
Not a new spreadsheet every time.
Every training adds to the same file. Nothing you logged is lost.
Not a compliance promise.
You get the evidence Perkins V asks for. Your district decides what it reports.
