OER STEM Pilot: Open Your Teaching

Dear LINCS Members,

The OER STEM team is excited to begin recruitment of adult educators and trainers for four new online courses.  As a participant, you will pilot these online courses and facilitation materials with support from project team members beginning early 2015.  The four courses are:

  • Open Your Classroom with Open Educational Resources
  • Open Science—Open Resources: Engage Your Students for Science Learning
  • Open Math—Open Resources: Engage Your Students for Math Learning
  • Build a Lesson with OER

To learn more about OER please visit the OER STEM project page and to learn more about this opportunity, please view the recruitment flyer.  The recruitment flyer will provide you with more details about the application process, eligibility requirements and the pilot timeframe, as well as a link to the online application.  To be considered for this opportunity, please complete the application by August 31, 2014 .  Contact oerstem@air.org with questions .

We’re excited to move forward with these courses and are looking forward to once again, collaborating with the adult education field to provide high quality training to improve instructional practices in the classroom.

Best,

OER STEM Team

Hello, Amanda and the rest of the OER team!

Thanks for sending this message to the LINCS Science Community!  I encourage all members of this discussion to take a look at the recruitment flyer and the OER STEM project page.  For example, you'll see a recommended website:  https://www.oercommons.org/courses/managing-critical-resources-at-craters-of-the-moon-national-monument-a-curriculum-for-high-school-students

This specific resource looks to be quite useful in teaching and learning science, math, and the use of a graphing calculator.  It is only one of many resources that you'll be working with as you participate in "Open Science—Open Resources: Engage Your Students for Science Learning".  I encourage you all to take a look at this opportunity!
