It has an online bookstore, does consultations, and has an online course for school starters. It hosts an annual conference in various locations.

As always, they will have many workshops that explore and demonstrate effective programs in educational alternatives, which includes any learner-centered approach, such as home education, Montessori education, Waldorf education, democratic Education, progressive education, charter schools, magnet schools, etc. I'll be speaking on the history of education, propaganda, and power and control.
