At Chrysalis we use a variety of sources for both group and individual courses. While many courses use a traditional text as a base, we customize assignments and resources for students based on their learning needs. In addition to a traditional text for many courses, we use teacher-developed materials, videos, DVDs, teacher lectures, field experiences, current publications, websites and podcasts.
