This is a summer program that prepares Hispanic Children for the upcoming school year. The main purpose is to address the achievement gap among Hispanic children when they enter the school. The program is for children going into preschool through second grade. This year we added a Spanish class on the premises that by promoting first language along with second language children out perform in school.
An OER-based degree, sometimes referred to as a Zero-Textbook-Cost degree, is a pathway to a degree or credential with no textbook costs because all the courses have been redesigned to use open educational resources (OER) for instructional materials. These pathways are gaining traction particularly at community colleges where students savings are estimated at up to 25 % of the cost of attendance. Early research shows students enrolled in these pathway courses are performing as well or better than students in traditional courses.
In June, the national community college reform network Achieving the Dream (ATD) announced the largest initiative of its kind to develop degree programs using high quality open educational resources (OER). Involving 38 community colleges in 13 states, it is designed to help remove financial roadblocks that can derail students’ progress and to spur other changes in teaching and learning and course design that will increase the likelihood of degree and certificate completion.
Join us for an interactive webinar to hear about early considerations such as fostering faculty engagement and planning tools successfully utilised by participants of the ATD OER Degree program. Find out more about how your college’s OER efforts can benefit from the findings and resources being developed by this program.

Charles Burgess Fry, known as C. B. Fry (25 April 1872 – 7 September 1956) was an English polymath; an outstanding sportsman, politician, diplomat, academic, teacher, writer, editor and publisher, who is best remembered for his career as a cricketer. John Arlott summed him up thus: "Charles Fry could be autocratic, angry and self-willed: he was also magnanimous, extravagant, generous, elegant, brilliant - and fun [...] he was probably the most variously gifted Englishman of any age."
