FOSS Institute
Delta Education will host two one-day Institutes before each of the three Regional Conferences in Kansas City, Missouri (10/27); Baltimore, Maryland (11/10); and Nashville, Tennessee (12/2). These Institutes will be for educators from districts that have implemented FOSS for at least a year. The focus of one Institute will be Taking FOSS Outdoors. The second Institute will focus on Using Science Notebooks. These Institutes are designed for FOSS experienced educators—lead teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, professional developers, and university methods instructors.
The Institutes are free, but you must register in advance to attend.
To secure your spot at the Institutes, please write, fax, or e-mail:
