for supporting culturally responsive instructional reform in California Community Colleges
Open Education Global leads a consortium of North American community colleges called CCCOER in advancing open education to ensure equitable, inclusive, and meaningful learning experiences. With College of the Canyons, CCCOER will undertake a two-year program to support California Community Colleges in culturally responsive teaching practices through the use of OER and open pedagogy. Participating faculty will engage in a two-semester online program to learn and implement best practices for using open pedagogy to achieve inclusive classroom experiences. Faculty, students, and administrators will participate in the evaluation of the program impact. (Substrategy: Sustainable Systems)

for executive transition and leadership development
Open Education Global (OEG) leads and stewards advocacy, development, and use of open education worldwide. With this grant, OEG will intentionally and thoughtfully implement a leadership transition in 2022, executed within a framework of a culture of care and aligned with the values of the open education community. As part of this transition OEG will update and optimize by-laws, policies and Board operations to ensure the new Executive Director comes into an organization with a solid foundation, an active and high functioning Board, and by-laws aligned with current operational processes. Further, OEG will create a blueprint of the leadership succession plan so that other open organizations can build on the work and knowledge gained. (Substrategy: Executive Transition)
