Do you want help inventorying your FOSS kits or prepping for your FOSS experiments?
Laura Prival is one of the district science coordinators AND a Glenview parent. She and another parent want to help you by taking the FOSS burdens off your plate! Please note that classroom teachers are still responsible for the delivery of science curriculum. Do not ask parents to teach your FOSS curriculum. They can help you teach, but you are in charge of the curriculum. Science is a core content.
