Purpose -- Dual Credit Educator Forums Improve outcomes for students in Dual Credits Build trusting relationships between the educators in each program 3 SCWI/IJECT
Forum Logistics Action Research 4 SCWI/IJECT
Funding Dual Credit Educator Forums 1. Activity/Forum for Teachers/Instructors/Staff Forum for Dual Credit Teachers, Instructors, Staff (Secondary and College) These forums typically follow a one-day workshop format. (College or Secondary School students may in some cases also be part of this kind of activity. In such cases, their participation would be funded according to the same benchmark amount.) Benchmark: $50 / participant SCWI RFP 2020-2021, Benchmarks for Activities and Forums (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2021-24_EL/SCWI_2021- 22_Activities_Forums_Benchmarks20201209.pdf) 5 SCWI/IJECT
Funding Dual Credit Educator Forums Teacher Release Time and Transportation Teacher release time and transportation funding are not included in the benchmark calculations. Please record the costs you expect to incur in these categories in the Additional Funding section of the Activities/Forums online application. In the case of teacher release, RPTs should work with boards to minimize this expense by accessing board PD funds where possible. SCWI RFP 2020-2021, Benchmarks for Activities and Forums (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2021-24_EL/SCWI_2021- 22_Activities_Forums_Benchmarks20201209.pdf) 6 SCWI/IJECT
SCWI 2021-24 REQUIREMENTS It is expected that each RPT will deliver at least one forum that provides an opportunity for all dual credit teachers and college faculty to receive orientation around dual credits including, Roles and Responsibilities, Dual Credit Policy and Procedures related to dual credit delivery (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2021- 24_EL/SCWI_Requirements_2021-24_9Dec20-RM.pdf) 7 SCWI/IJECT
SCWI 2021-24 REQUIREMENTS College faculty and dual credit teachers can use this opportunity to share successful practices in such areas as instruction assessment and evaluation student supports (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2021- 24_EL/SCWI_Requirements_2021-24_9Dec20-RM.pdf) 8 SCWI/IJECT
SCWI 2021-24 REQUIREMENTS These are not intended to provide basic information on dual credits for other school staff. (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2021- 24_EL/SCWI_Requirements_2021-24_9Dec20-RM.pdf) 9 SCWI/IJECT

Proposal Example This forum will be hosted about 3 weeks prior to the beginning of each dual credit course and OYAP Level 1 intake. This forum will promote the needed dialogue between the College Instructor and the Secondary School Dual Credit Teachers. All College faculty will attend to learn about the logistics of Dual Credits and updates/changes we've made to the program. Secondary Dual Credit Teachers will be able to share their role and the importance of on-going and consistent communication with College Faculty to support the success of the students. This is an opportunity to educate new faculty to SCWI and give a provincial overview as well as re-engage returning faculty by sharing statistics/data and success stories from previous years. We also include a best- practices panel and 3 exemplary faculty were selected to speak about tried and true methods they found to work well in Dual Credits. 13 SCWI/IJECT
Making the Most of Your Forum Consider how best to use your time when people are together What could be communicated in other formats at other times? In advance As a follow-up 14 SCWI/IJECT

Dual Credit Educators Key to Student Success In a Dual Credit program, both educators (dual credit teacher, college faculty) have a significant role to play; the roles are different both are key to students being successful Both categories of dual credits offer rich experiences for students College experience, typically on campus college instructor delivers instruction with the students receiving support of the dual credit teacher Team-taught two educators working together to support student learning 17 SCWI/IJECT
Building Trusting Relationships between Dual Credit Educators Start with the rules (assessment, evaluation, attendance, classroom expectations, procedures) What s the same? What s different? (not what s right/wrong, better/worse) Partners need to be on the same page then can move forward 18 SCWI/IJECT
The Value of Building Relationships Between Dual Credit Educators In a team-taught dual credit, the content of the college courses would be the same in both cases The common bond for the two educators will be the subject matter they are trying to teach these students how the course content is delivered and evaluated may be what is different. The key is exploring different ways to motivate and engage students, so that ultimately, they can be successful in mastering the subject matter. 19 SCWI/IJECT
The Value of Building Relationships Between Dual Credit Educators How do we help dual credit educators build a trusting relationship so they can support one another to improve student achievement? Where these relationships exist, collaborative professional conversations can problem solve issues or concerns or situations: Lack of student engagement Issues with course delivery, including expectations, volume, timing, gaps in specific pre-requisite skills/knowledge assessment and evaluation differences in polices and procedures around standards in the two systems deadlines, passing grades, missed assignments 20 SCWI/IJECT
Making the Connection. More support for K 12 and PSE educators to combine their shared expertise could be the missing link to transforming education and achieving system change on a grander scale.

Delivery I missed the connection with colleagues. I often learned quite a bit in the side chats. However, this is COVID, for a virtual conference, it was flawless. 22 SCWI/IJECT
