FOSS Institutes
Delta Education will host a one-day FOSS Institute before the 2009
NSTA National Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. This Institute
will be for educators from districts that have implemented FOSS
for at least a year. The topic will be using formative assessment to
improve teaching and learning. The focus will be on new assessment
tools and strategies designed specifically for FOSS modules grades
3–6. This Institute is designed for FOSS experienced educators—lead
teachers, administrators, curriculum coordinators, professional
developers, and university methods instructors.
The Institute is free, but you must register in advance to attend.
To secure your spot at the Institute, please call, write, fax, or e-mail:
