ZTC Award Program

This page is still a work in progress and will be complete by the time faculty start participating in the new ZTC program.

There are countless repositories for discovering OER ⁠— this is only a sample ⁠— but the six repositories listed below are an excellent starting point for California community college instructors.

For accessibility purposes, instructors should offer a print option for their OER(s). Please see these recommendations and resources from the ASCCC OERI.

Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Anti-Racism (IDEA) Draft Framework (ASCCC OERI)

To support faculty as they implement a culturally responsive and anti-racist pedagogy, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges Open Educational Resources Initiative (ASCCC OERI), in response to Resolution 09.05 adopted in Spring 2021 (Developing an Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Curriculum Audit Process), has been tasked with the development of:

• a process and review framework to evaluate existing open educational resources to ensure that ASCCC OERI-supported open educational resources are inclusive, diverse, equitable, and anti-racist (IDEA).
• a curriculum audit process and review framework to assess instructional materials for equity, inclusiveness, diversity, and anti- racism and make the process and framework available for local consideration, modification, and implementation.

This is still a work in progress and the ASCCC OERI is soliciting feedback. Learn more.
