DE Approved Description:

Professional learning around implementation science in the educational setting is an ongoing, dynamic process that focuses on building the necessary knowledge, skills, and capacities for successful and sustainable implementation of educational initiatives. Grounded in the NIRN (National Implementation Research Network) implementation science model, this professional learning begins with building the leadership team''s capacity to understand and apply key concepts such as implementation drivers, fidelity of implementation, and sustainability. Leaders and educators engage in targeted professional development to deepen their understanding of the core components of effective implementation, including the role of staff competencies, organizational supports, and data systems for monitoring progress. 

Additional Information:

In this full day of learning, both new and experienced FOSS teachers will go over best practices for science instruction and plan for one FOSS unit. Teachers will explore the hands-on kit materials, curriculum planning guides, and additional digital resources for a chosen unit. Take advantage of this opportunity to fine tune your science instructional plans for your next FOSS kit. Ongoing coaching will also be provided.

Any educator who attended a previous round of FOSS workshops from the 24-25 school year has multiple options to consider provided in the required survey below in lieu of best practices previously covered.
