I recently received a note in my e-mail from Sylvia Bath, FOSS teacher and staff developer in Illinois. She raised a number of points that come to the heart of FOSS implementation. The hands-on concept is a leap for a lot of traditional districts. We will happily retrieve this document, update it, and make it available to all interested educators. It does sound like fun . . .
Video production is hard work.
Be that as it may, this subject comes up with some frequency. I think a set of management and pedagogy videos would be an excellent addition to the program. The teacher notebook is great, but should have a page listing the first time module prep activities. This was vital and I only found it in the leadership book. Right now that comprehensive list of one-time preps appears only in the FOSS Leadership Trainers Manual .
