Piedmont College to administer Foxfire program

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&#39;s work in cultural journalism at Rabun County High School. Wiggington&#39;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> <br>
