Dear Colleagues,


I am writing to share some good news. SBCTC has been awarded the 2021 Open Textbook Pilot Program grant from the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education, (FIPSE<http://www.ed.gov/FIPSE/>), U.S. Department of Education. Based on collaborative work with college faculty, Workforce Education professionals, and Center of Excellence Directors, this project is designed to develop a set of open textbooks for three of the most in-demand professional technical programs: Intro to Criminal Justice, Intro to Health Care, and Intro to Welding.


SBCTC will announce a call for faculty participation in the first week of October. We will be looking for faculty members with deep knowledge in their field and experience developing curricular materials to join the faculty cohorts which will collectively author these new open textbooks.


Finally, I am pleased to announce that Monique Belair has accepted the position of Project Manager. Monique has been with the SBCTC Open Ed team for fourteen years and brings a wealth of skills to this team. She will be responsible for managing the project and reporting on progress & deliverables. I am also happy to inform you that Sally Zeiger Hanson, who partnered with me in writing this proposal, has agreed to serve as a consultant for the project. As the Project Director of this program, I am thrilled to team up with both.


Please feel free to reach out to me or Monique Belair (mbelair at sbctc.edu<mailto:mbelair at sbctc.edu>) if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you and your faculty on this exciting new project.


Boyoung Chae, Ph.D.
