<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">So many of you forwarded me the new OpenEd grant announcement from DOE (thank you!!) yesterday and wondered about SBCTC’s plan. I think it will be beneficial if I share what has been done and discussed. :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As reported during the ELC/LLC meeting, SBCTC has been preparing a proposal to submit for this grant for a while. We expected this grant to be released around this time as DOE opened the public comment period
a couple months ago. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Among the many topics considered, it has been decided that the proposal will be about developing a set of open textbooks in professional technical programs such as welding, automotive, health care, early childhood
education, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">We have had webinars and meetings with workforce deans/VPs and faculty members in the Prof Tech area to determine the small set of courses to join the first pilot, and as shared during the ELC/LLC meeting,
even ran a survey to get some recommendations (<a href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wa-proftech">https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/wa-proftech</a>).
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Thanks to many ELC/LLC/Workforce deans who connected us to their faculty members (plus survey results), we were able to identify a few courses that could be good contenders, but
<b>we still need to identify more</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Please feel free to directly send me your questions or thoughts. I would most welcome any recommendations on potential courses or any opportunities to chat with your Prof Tech faculty members.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
