Monthly OSL Meetings
Who should attend? If you are a TOSA, administrator, or specialist, please join our monthly OSL meetings. We know that this timing isn’t great for classroom teachers, but science teacher leaders are always welcome at our monthly meetings.
Meeting description: Meeting participants will learn about upcoming science opportunities and hear adoption updates from ODE. We will also use this time to highlight innovative, equity-centered science frameworks and local efforts. All OSL members will receive post-meeting slides and materials.
Meeting logistics: 2nd Tuesday of the month (Oct-May) on Zoom, time TBD
Registration for SY24-25 meetings will open in September!
