Advisors

Throughout the creation, revision, pilot-testing, field-testing, and evaluation of Detectives in the Classroom, we have received advice from many individuals. Initially, this advice was given during formal Advisory Board meetings but over time has evolved into a network of colleagues who generously share their experience and expertise via timely telephone and electronic discussions as particular issues arise.
