About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join our Professional Learning Team to earn continuing education credits and dive into getting started with the FOSS Science Curriculum! In this 4 part community of practice, you will learn how to get started with FOSS, practice tips and tricks, learn how to navigate your resources, and get your classroom up and running.


The cost includes ten hours of continuing education credits, a certificate of completion, and materials (send to you!) necessary to engage in the lessons for each session. Our community will meet every two weeks - so you have time to embed what you've learned and then bring examples to build on for the next session.
