FALCoN
Friday Afternoon Learning Community of NIST


Come relax with like-minded colleagues for an hour at the end of your week. Participate in conversations around evidence-based teaching that will inspire you to put the ideas we discuss into practice. You'll find us on Zoom the second and fourth Friday of every month (4-5 PM Eastern/1-2 PM Pacific). Join our mailing list to get regular notifications and links to the registration page for each event.
Would you like to present at a future FALCoN? If so, please email: nationalinstituteonst@gmail.com.
