Please Share this information with educators who have not been trained in a FOSS unitand/or those that would like the opportunity to refine their science instructional practices. We need your help to spread the word so we can ensure meeting the 12 participant requirement to hold this session!
Our workshop format allows both new and experienced FOSS teachers to review science best practices and unpack a unit of their choice. This is a great time for teachers to get valuable planning time in advance of a science unit!

Some quotes from previous participants:
