DEMOREST - Piedmont College has been chosen by the Foxfire Fund to administer a program that trains teachers in implementing the Foxfire approach to classroom instruction.<br>
<br>
The Foxfire approach grew out of Eliot Wiggington's work in cultural journalism at Rabun County High School. Wiggington's work developed into an overall approach to instruction in all subject areas and all grade levels, including special education.<br>
<br>
The first of the 10-day training sessions is set to begin June 7 and is for teachers from northeast Georgia; the second will follow later that month, beginning June 22.<br>
<br>
The sessions will be held at the Foxfire Center near Clayton. The center includes more than 20 authentic mountain buildings and replicas where participants will stay during the sessions.<br>
<br>
The cost for each session is $1,170. That includes lodging and two meals a day.<br>
