Your presenter
Learn the model from the person who built it
Dr. Victor Sampson
Dr. Sampson developed the Argument-Driven Inquiry instructional model and co-authored the ADI book series. He leads this institute himself, so participants are not learning a secondhand version of the model. They can ask the person who designed it why each move works and how to adapt it for their own teachers.

What you take with you
You leave ready to run the workshop, not to build it
Every participant leaves with access to the ADI certified trainer folder and the full set of facilitator materials for the Introduction to ADI workshop. You are delivering the same workshop you just experienced, with the same slides and the same resources, edited to fit your teachers.
The workshop slide deck
The complete Introduction to ADI presentation, fully editable, so you can drop in your own examples, campus names, and pacing.
Facilitator notes
Timing, talking points, and the facilitation moves behind each segment, so you can lead it with confidence the first time.
Participant handouts
The handouts and investigation materials your teachers will use during the workshop, ready to print and copy as often as you need them.
An ADI book
Choose your title during registration and pick it up at sign-in.
