Please review the Additional Terms and Conditions for the Study Series carefully before registering.

We aim to offer the highest quality, innovative, and inspiring professional development and collaboration opportunities. To that end it is important that we have an accurate accounting of registered participants and can fully fund the exciting experiences we will bring to you. Each event is made up of only a select and limited number of participants. Therefore, we must adhere to clear Terms and Conditions and appreciate your understanding. If you need clarification, please do not hesitate to write to us prior to registering. Once you have registered, you have agreed to abide by these additional terms and conditions.

The Educator Collaborative’s Study Series “Group Viewing Video License”

Simple Language Version

By registering for a Study Series seat, The Educator Collaborative is granting you the limited right to view the Sessions you have registered for and invite colleagues to sit with you. We are granting this in an effort to promote collaboration and professional learning amongst you and your colleagues. We believe we learn best together. Here we outline what this means in simple language. Note that there are a number of limits to what you can and can’t do, we are doing this to protect your purchase, the work of presenters and our organization.

With this License you may:

• Invite colleagues from your own school or organization to bring chairs and sit with you while watching the live or recording of the Session(s) you have registered for. This could be a small or large group, but must be colleagues from you employing school or organization.

There are limits to this License, which include:

  • The Educator Collaborative and/or session presenters own all copyrights and reserve all rights to the content presented.
  • You may only share with colleagues from your school or organization.

o For example: You may invite your grade level team or even entire department to watch with you. However, you may not travel to other schools or districts and show all or part of the recording.

  • This License is single organization or single school-based and does not extend to a full district.Any school interested in Group Viewing would need to register for a seat.
  • You may not charge any fee of any kind for others to view with you.

o For example: You may not sell tickets, ask for a donation, or be in the midst of conducting business for any school or organization other than your employer (such as performing consulting or speaking work).

  • You may not record, download, or otherwise save for future use all or any portion of any Session’s video, including live and recorded formats.
  • You may not broadcast or rebroadcast beyond the provided live stream or provided recording log-ins.

o For example: You may have your grade level colleagues pull up a chair and sit next to you in a classroom to watch. However, you may not broadcast your live stream to screens throughout your district. You also may not record a broadcast on your own device and show that recording to others.

  • You may not share your log-in information for live stream or recordings with anyone.
  • For the purposes of this License we define “colleagues” as employees of the same school or organization of which you are also employed.

o For example: Fourth grades teachers from your school are considered “colleagues” you can share with. However, independent contractors that work with your school, teachers from a neighboring district, or students in colleague course you teach are not considered “colleagues.”

If you have any questions or a unique situation you would like to discuss, please contact us.

Cancellations and Substitutions

Event spaces are limited and we must make use of every available seat. These strict guidelines ensure every person who wishes to actively attend has an equal opportunity to do so. Thank you for your understanding.

  • If you have already registered and later need to cancel your seat (or one you created for another employee), you must write an email to Contact@TheEducatorCollaborative.com to request a cancellation. Each session you wish to cancel must be clearly listed in your email and will be checked against our records.

    • Within 36 hours after the registration, but not less than 24 hours prior to the registered Session start time (“Grace Period”), you may cancel for a full refund. This policy is based on clock hours regardless of day of the week (e.g. a registration on a Friday at noon would have a Grace Period up until Saturday at midnight so long as the Session does not begin less than 24 hours within that time period).
    • Do not register less than 36 hours before a Session unless you are certain you will attend as a complete refund cannot be granted after that time, whether you viewed or not.
    • If you wish to cancel any Single Session after the Grade Period, you will forfeit your entire registration fee for that Session.

    • Within 36 hours after a registration, but not less than 24 hours before the first (1st) Session start time (“Grace Period”), you may cancel for a full refund of the entire Full Year Study Series.
    • If you wish to cancel after the Grace Period and within three (3) calendar days AFTER any of the first four (4) Sessions you will receive a refund calculated as follows:
      • “Registration Fee” multiplied by ((“Total Number of Season’s Sessions” – “Number of Sessions Presented to Date”) divided by “Total Number of Season’s Sessions”) minus a $75.00 “Administrative Fee.”
        • For example, cancellation after the third session would be: $Fee x ((12-3)/12) – $75
      • This is calculated whether you viewed each session presented or not.
      • Each Session already presented will remain within your membership after cancellation, all others will be cancelled.
    • If you wish to cancel after three (3) days following the fourth (4th) Session is presented you will forfeit your entire fee.
