California Community College Faculty Motivation and Reflection on Open Textbo...Una Daly
Interviews were conducted with twelve faculty members at community colleges in California who adopted open textbooks in their teaching practice for one academic term or longer. The interviews queried faculty on motivation to undertake the adoption, pedagogical considerations, student savings and feedback, and support from other campus stakeholders.
Faculty were asked how their teaching and student learning was affected as a result of adopting an open textbook in their course. Specifically they were asked if they were collaborating more with other faculty members and whether they were now using a wider range of instructional materials in their courses. With regards to student learning, they were asked if they believed that student learning had improved or whether student retention had improved as a result of the adoption of an open and free textbook. Any unanticipated outcomes that had resulted from the adoption either in their own practice or with students was also queried.
In addition to the faculty and students, other stakeholders on campus are often involved in the decision and process to adopt an open textbook. College initiatives or pilot programs to increase access and equity were sometimes the instigators for making the change and other times it was strictly a faculty decision. Library, instructional design, and bookstore staff were other stakeholders who played roles in the adoption process.
Attend this presentation to better understand the motivations of college faculty who adopt open textbooks and how it affected their teaching practice. Hear about the challenges they encountered and any unexpected outcomes. Learn what students had to say about using open textbooks in the classroom and how it affected their learning and ability to be successful.

Paraeducators in Inclusive Settings Share Their WIZdom—What Do They Do? How Do They Do It? What Do they Need to Do It Better? by Andrea Liston, Ida Malian, & Ann Nevin.
From the 2009 National Resource Center for Paraprofessionals Conference.
The document discusses planning for effective paraeducator staff development. It outlines several key considerations for planning training, including federal and state mandates, the number and needs of paraeducators, available resources, and time frames. It emphasizes the importance of training paraeducators on essential competencies and allowing opportunities for application, feedback, and support. Online training modules are recommended as they allow flexibility and just-in-time learning. A comprehensive needs assessment of paraeducators is crucial for informing the development and delivery of high-quality training.
This document summarizes a study examining the roles, knowledge, and training needs of paraeducators working in secondary transitional settings. The study surveyed 336 paraeducators working in 34 secondary schools and 17 transitional programs. It found that paraeducators have expanded responsibilities in transitional settings but receive little formal training, relying primarily on on-the-job learning. Paraeducators reported high levels of knowledge but lacked training in key areas like assessment, technology, and IEP planning. Experience level and working with students with low-incidence disabilities predicted greater knowledge. The study highlights needs for improved training to better prepare paraeducators for their roles supporting students in transitional programs.

Mary Hull discusses using activity schedules to support students' independence. An activity schedule uses visual prompts like pictures or words to show students the sequence of activities. Teachers should start with 3-5 simple activities on the first schedule, provide physical guidance, and fade prompts over time. The goal is for students to complete the activities independently by following the visual schedule. Activity schedules can increase social skills by incorporating group activities, and problem-solving skills by allowing choices. Schedules can also be connected to reward systems with checks or tokens to motivate students.
The document provides guidance for paraeducators on supporting classroom behavioral intervention, outlining challenges to behavior management, best practices for paraeducators' role including monitoring student behavior, de-escalating disruptive situations, and crisis intervention.

CCCOER Presents: Regional Leaders of Open EducationUna Daly
When: Wednesday, March 4, noon PST/3pm EST:
Launched in fall 2019, the Regional Leadership for Open Education (RLOE) initiative was inspired by CCCOER members’ growing need to collaborate across institutional and state boundaries to find solutions for issues impacting OER adoption at diverse, multi-institution systems. Many open education leaders face similar issues of advocacy and implementation beyond their home institution and wish for the opportunity to craft common solutions and eliminate duplication of efforts. Leaders from colleges, universities, library consortia, and government agencies were invited to participate in four workgroups to discuss and build solutions. Each workgroup has developed a focus project for pursuing in 2020 and will share early efforts and invite community feedback
Policy & Strategy: focusing on a bibliography of open education policies and building a video repository of statewide OER policy clips.
Stewardship: focusing on emerging frameworks for stewardship of open education resources and student privacy and data.
Professionalism: focusing on building a matrix of emerging “open education” roles and their associated competencies to better identify training needs.
Sustainability: focusing on building a virtual file cabinet of higher education infrastructure documents/templates integrating open education.
