Instructional guide for educators and program leaders to support lesson and activity planning during the State of Innovation Challenge
Educational consortiums pool their resources and work together to achieve common objectives. These consortiums have to carefully plan and communicate to ensure that all members benefit through the shared work. For example, smaller members may have access to additional resources but often volunteer to innovate and pilot projects that contribute to the shared knowledge base. It is this delicate balance of preserving member parity that prepares a well-functioning consortium to also keep equitable practices at the center of their work, for the students we ultimately serve as well as their represented districts and other partners. This handbook is the result of over four decades of leadership by CTE Directors representing districts in eastern Oregon and the facilitation of four Regional Coordinators housed by the InterMountain Education Service District. Although much of the operational information is specific to this region and career and technical education, we share it here as one example of how a group of people representing different communities of all sizes and demographics can come together through strategic planning to identify who is being underserved, in what ways, and how regional partners can work together to serve each and every student.

Career videos show the types of work in which individuals employed in a career field, cluster or pathway are engaged. Nebraska Career Education, in cooperation with the Nebraska Departments of Labor and Economic Development, offers an array of virtual career tours of Nebraska-based businesses and industries. Discussion guides for the teacher and viewing guides for students have been developed for each career tour. These virtual industry tours provide a unique opportunity to get a glimpse inside Nebraska-based industries without leaving the classroom. Interviews, tours of the business environment and “pop-up” information and statistics on job markets, salaries, and educational requirements are part of each career cluster’s videos.

This practice brief provides guidance to help K12 and community college dual enrollment program instructors and administrators identify and implement programs using open educational resources (OERs). This practice brief focuses on how OERs can remove potential barriers to students’ access to higher education by promoting textbook affordability for all students. As high schools typically cover the cost of textbooks and other course materials, the costs of college textbooks may deter high school students from considering dual enrollment programs, particularly low-income students. The integration of OERs in dual enrollment courses may help mitigate this barrier.
The Oregon Career Connected Learning Framework graphic provides a visual representation of Oregon's definition of CCL and potential activities that learners can participate in during their career education and development.

What is the purpose of this handbook?
The purpose of this handbook is to provide a shared resource for schools, districts, business,
industry, and community partners in support of a statewide effort to build a robust work-based
learning ecosystem in Oregon. The ultimate goals of supporting implementation of high quality
work-based learning are to ensure equitable learning outcomes for students, to connect
classroom learning with the world of work, and to strengthen community and school
partnerships.
The rubric can be used by teachers, administrators, and other individuals to design and deliver quality and equitable work-based learning experiences for students within a CTE Program of Study that will meet the secondary Perkins V program quality indicator. It can also be used as a resource to reflect on areas of strength and improvements and to adopt continuous improvement processes. Equity considerations are included
in the rubric to support the elimination of barriers to access and participation in work-based learning. The rubric is focused primarily on quality work-based learning experiences, not programs, and performance levels are aligned with the High Quality Program of Study Rubric for an approved CTE Program of Study.
