Engage Your OSY Using iSOSY Materials
Friday June 5, 2026 10:00am - 10:45am PDT
Engaging OSY can be challenging. The iSOSY Consortium has developed a collection of STAT Lessons that are Short, Targeted, & Timely to help make engaging your OSY a little bit easier. These lessons – all available at no charge on the iSOSY website – include a standard format with lesson plan, targeted vocabulary and phrases, interactive activities (via Quizlet and EdPuzzle), print and virtual worksheets, videos, and pre-/post-assessments. Participants will learn how to utilize these resources to engage OSY via practically oriented lessons.
