FOSS Institutes

Delta Education will host two one-day FOSS Institutes before the National NSTA Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana (March 28, 2012). These Institutes, one for K–5 and one for middle school, will be for educators from districts that have implemented FOSS or are planning to implement FOSS. The Institutes will focus on newly developed FOSS materials which include: K–6 FOSS 3rd Edition, The Next Generation of Active Learning, and the revision of the FOSS middle school Planetary Science Course. These Institutes are designed for experienced FOSS educators—lead teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, professional developers, and university methods instructors. These Institutes are free, but you must register in advance to attend.

To secure your spot at the Institute, please write, fax, or e-mail:
