The session will highlight two secondary/post-secondary partnerships to create and implement two new Open Educational Resources. These partnerships are connected to the College in the Schools program at Central Lakes College. Two high school instructors worked with CLC college instructors this year to create OER.
Mitchell Denny, high school English instructor, and Lori-Beth Larsen and Kate Porter, college reading instructors revised an OER for Critical Literacy. The Critical Literacy OER will be used in two high schools this Fall 2020. Students enrolled in the course will receive college credit taught by a high school instructor in collaboration with a college instructor.
Joy Davis, a high school Spanish instructor, co-created an OER for Global Studies using the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals as a framework. The OER for Global Studies will be used in five high schools this coming school year. Students enrolled in Introduction to Global Studies will get college credit in several goal areas. These courses will be taught by high school instructors in collaboration with a college instructor.
Learning Outcomes: Participants will learn about how a college instructor collaborated with secondary instructors on two OER projects. They have access to the two OER (Global Studies and Critical Literacy), and will learn about how the collaboration is being implemented in six different high schools in Minnesota.
