Not trained in a FOSS Kit? Get ready for Round 2 FOSS Workshops!
FOSS Science Best Practices & One Unit Exploration Course Description
In this full day of learning, both new and experienced FOSS teachers will go over best practices for science instruction and plan for one FOSS unit. Teachers will explore the hands-on kit materials, curriculum planning guides, and resources to create lesson plans to use with their students. Register using this flyer or by going to the links below!
- Any educator who attended the first round of FOSS workshops in late July/early August of the 24-25 school year has multiple options to consider for their planning needs in lieu of best practices previously covered.
- Take advantage of this opportunity to fine tune your science instructional plans for your next FOSS kit!
The hints, tips, and tricks learned during this day will be invaluable! Worth the time!
