The Bee Cause Project connects bees and their keepers with communities and classrooms in order to share the life-giving lessons of our humble friends, the bees. Our shared habitat is in trouble, and bees have the tools to help us make a world fit for people and pollinators. For students of all ages, a look into a hive can revolutionize their understanding of our food system while working together towards a common goal. The Bee Cause Project delivers teaching tools to communities and classrooms so long looks into a hive turn into STEM exploration, career development, and the curiosity that fuels change. Join us in building the next generation of environmental stewards!

During the Spring 2020 semester, I taught this wonderful group of ESL learners in the classroom and on Zoom after the pandemic hit. This OER is a collection of resources, teaching ideas, and student artifacts about that experience. I hope it helps you. If you have questions, or just want to brainstorm, feel free to email me at <mike.mutschelknaus@rctc.edu>. 

This faculty and librarian toolkit is designed to support teaching at the intersections of scholarly communication and information literacy. The heart of the toolkit is a choose-your-own scenario activity which can be used in a flipped classroom setting or in a traditional classroom. The choose-your-own scenario activity is inspired by and adapts questions from: Hare, S. & Evanson, C. (2018). Information privilege outreach for undergraduate students. College and Research Libraries. http://crl.acrl.org/index.php/crl/article/view/16767. Please note the survey questions are provided below, however, the survey skip logic is not included in the PDF, we recommend the link for the full experience. We also include talking points for librarians and instructors and include ways to modify the activity for students publishing information within their disciplines or for lower-division general education courses.

In this section, you and your team will engage in a Landscape Analysis to uncover key structures and supports that can guide your work to support Accessibility in OER. You may or may not answer all of these questions, but this is an offering.

The resource introduces the audience to the OER Service as well as the university’s efforts to improve the accessibility and inclusivity of its resources. By looking at and together analysing three already published OER (all listed below), learners are taught what points to keep in mind as they are creating their own resources. The resource is available as a video and in transcript format with PowerPoint slides embedded.

This resource is a collaborative effort and was created for Geoscience Outreach students to practice considering the accessibility, inclusivity, and OER suitability of their created resources. It was originally run as a workshop by Open Content Curator Interns Molly Wickett and Alyssa Heggison in 2022, and has now been adapted for sustainable use as a video with accompanying transcript by an Intern August Enger in 2023.

Verbal or non-verbal acknowledgement should be used frequently to recognise students demonstrating expected behaviours. Praise emphasises the effort students have made to exceed behaviour expectations specific to them.

Using math templates during instruction keeps each student actively involved and allows the teacher to informally assess each student's proficiency with the skills and concepts addressed in the day's lesson. Many teachers regularly use whiteboards to have students record answers, write terms, draw pictures, etc. The use of templates in sheet protectors extends this practice and eliminates the time spent drawing diagrams, etc., allowing students more time to demonstrate mathematical proficiency. Teachers who regularly use math templates include planned task items that assess student proficiency. Careful observation of student responses allows teachers to form flexible small groups for additional instruction or enrichment and also better plan for instruction.

El objetivo de este trabajo es brindar herramientas para que sean utilizados en diferentes centros de adultos mayores y / o jubilados, para que estos se sientan acompañados y puedan continuar viviendo de forma activa.

Selected resources provide three web-based activities to complement science lessons in an issue of Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle. The free, online magazine for Grades K-5 teachers explores the essential principles of climate literacy.

This resource is part of the San Francisco Unified School District Math Core Curriculum for Grade 2. It includes numerous activities to help students build fluency for addition within 100.

Peer feedback is a powerful tool. Learners report their own work improved when they received feedack and, especially, when they reviewed peer work and gave targeted feedback to others.

Research shows that Wise and Mastery Oriented feedback are effective in promoting learner motivation and persistence, especially when faced with setbacks.

This collection provides practical approaches and design ideas that can be easily implemented in tertiary education. If you’re looking for inspiration on how to use technology for teaching, you’re in the right place.
