Step 5.3.  Prepare the budget.

Complete the following form to estimate the cost of the professional development that you are planning.   The form will include spaces for personnel costs (e.g., costs for consultants, presenters, facilitators), the costs of facilities, equipment and materials, travel costs, stipends for participants, and costs for the evaluation.  As appropriate, planners will enter either the full cost of the item or the unit cost and the number of units required.  There will also be space to include other cost items and the costs. The budget should include both direct cost as well as costs that will be covered with in-kind contributions. The planning guide will automatically calculate the overall cost estimate and display the completed form with other parts of the plan.
