Fees & Logistics

Fees

I will plan and deliver a Half Day workshop for $800 USD (includes instructional material preparation)

I will plan and deliver a One Day workshops for $1800 USD (includes instructional material preparation)

I will plan and deliver a 75-minute Plenary and a One Day workshops for $2000 USD (includes instructional material preparation).

I will plan and deliver a Two Day workshops for $3800 USD (includes instructional material preparation). Here is an example of a recent 2-day institute. This 2 day institute actually spans 3 days with a homework day in between the 2 workshop days. Students complete part of a TBL course design as homework. The homework day is supported by office hours. This workshop is modeled after Bill Roberson’s and Billie Franchini’s very successful TBL institutes.

Expenses

The hosting institution also pays all expenses, including travel costs (flights and cabs), hotel costs, food, and incidentals.

Logistics

For these fees, I will facilitate workshops and be available for private consultations. I will provide electronic copies of documents for local printing prior to workshop. I will provide the necessary workshop supplies including voting cards, team folders, team number table signs, and scratch cards (IF-ATs). Here is my standard workshop contract. Here is the NAFTA information document I create each time for US customs.

Instructional Materials

Preparation of custom instructional material not part of a workshop is at a rate $75 USD per hour. Licensing unless otherwise negotiated is Creative Commons – attribution required, non-commercial re-use allowed, and derivative works allowed.

Note for American Universities (paying a Canadian)

There are 2 United States tax forms required to pay a Canadian (both are completed upon request by Jim and provided to University). First the W-8BEN- Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner for United States Tax Withholding is completed by workshop facilitator (Jim). Most University have difficulty with a Canadians’ lack of a Taxpayer Identification Number. This lack of an ITIN is addressed using a second form, the 8233 – Exemption for Withholding on Compensation for Independent (and Certain Dependent) Personal Services of a Non-Resident Alien. The 8233 is completed by the workshop facilitator (Jim).

The 8233 legally releases the University’s from the need to withhold taxes, since taxes will be paid in Canada. The 8233 acknowledges Article VII (1) Convention between Canada and the United States with respect to Taxes on Income and Capital. If the University still feels it necessary to withhold taxes, the daily fee becomes the NET fee and the actual fee must be increased to cover the withholding amount.
