Join our Professional Learning and Curriculum Specialists to earn continuing education credits by elevating writing in the science classroom with the FOSS Science Curriculum. In this community of practice, you will learn how to get started with science notebooks, build connections to writing across domains, and elevate student sense-making with next-step-strategies.
The cost includes ten hours of continuing education credits, a certificate of completion, and materials necessary to engage in the lessons for each session. Our community will meet every two months – so you have time to embed what you’ve learned and then bring examples to build on for the next session.
The Community of Practice Schedule is below:
• September 21st – 1.5 hours focusing on active investigation and notebook foundations
• November 16th – 1.5 hours focusing on making sense of data and language development
• January 25th – 1.5 hours focusing on assessment and next-step strategies
• March 21st – 1.5 hours focusing synthesizing student thinking
We hope you’ll join us to learn more about how to take science notebooks to the next level!
Cost is $550 and includes registration at all four sessions, materials (will be sent to you), and a continuing education certificate upon completion of all four sessions.
