2022 Open Education Conference

Over the course of the 2021-22 school year, 32 Oregon K-12 educators participated in a grant project sponsored by the Oregon Department of Education's Oregon Open Learning team. The project culminated in the development of high-quality lessons in a variety of content areas that are designed to support secondary students who are emergent bilingual. The Oregon Open Learning team partnered with two Western Oregon University professors of Bilingual Education to engage participating educators in professional learning focused on lesson design and pedagogical practices that support multilingual learners, as well as an introduction to OER and open licensing. In this presentation, you'll hear from the project leaders and professional learning providers, who will provide insight into the organization and facilitation of the project, as well as several participants, who will share about the impact of the project on their teaching practice and their students.

By attending this session, attendees will be able to:

• Draw inspiration and leverage lessons learned when considering possibilities for collaboration between K-12 and higher education partners
• Use an equity tool to inform the design of an OER development project
• Access training materials, including tools for lesson development, critical self-reflection, and peer feedback, and model lessons created by content area, ELD and dual language teachers
