Asora
Speakers Bureau
We are
available to make public presentations on most of the
aspects of Asora Education Enterprises. In most cases we
waive our speaking fees and expenses for presentations in
Rhode Island and in the eastern half of Massachusetts. We
also participate in the Heartland Institute's speakers
bureau.

Presentation Topics
Many of
our topics are related in the sense that our proposals for
online instruction provide an affordable way to address the
problems we see from our studies of student achievement.
Some of our presentations discuss aspects of the "solution"
while others mainly focus on the "problems." And others do
both.
1. How
reforming the local education marketplace can motivate
school improvement. How Asora Consulting might help.

overhaul brick & mortar schools.
