3.1. CCC / NE Math Readiness Project

Agenda Item Type:
Information Item
Action(s):
No Action(s) have been added to this Agenda Item.
Discussion:
Cory Hatt, Central Community college, NE Math Readiness Project. This project will help students to not have to take a College Ready Math (non-credit classes.) Project is based on a Metro CC project. Promotes a statewide program. This is a three year grant funded program, for high schools students there are no costs. They have not discussed sustainability after grant is gone. Looking at several options for funding following grant. How does this program tie in with the statewide EdReady project. The two are very similar. Through the program from CCC is gives them pre-requisites to attain credit for their work completed through program. EdReady could be a nice addition to their program. CCC's program is only for seniors in high schools and EdReady goes down to middle schools. This could help with readiness for students prior to their program. Possibility of state plan to have the same communication. There needs to be some clarity with NDE on the CCC's project. Need to have a good conversation to make sure all these projects align. Currently, NE Math Readiness Project is only in 15 schools. They are not seeking funding from ESUCC.

Once approved by NDE, it would be included in our collection, tagged with special tag so that users will know it has been properly vetted. Other states are inquiring on the work that we are doing with the OER Commons Hub. There will be a statewide training for the OER on November 15, 2018 at ESU 3.
