Purpose Dual Credit Educator Forums 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_2020- 23_EL/SCWI_2020-23_Requirements_REV20200120.pdf ) 8 SCWI/IJECT
Purpose Dual Credit Educator Forums These are not intended to provide basic information on dual credits for other school staff. (http://scwi.ca/resources/docs/Requirements_2020- 23_EL/SCWI_2020-23_Requirements_REV20200120.pdf ) 9 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_2020-23_EL/SCWI_2020- 21_Activity&Forum_Benchmarks_20191029.pdf ) 10 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.

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 12 SCWI/IJECT
Proposal Example College faculty who teach dual credit courses will join the secondary school dual credit teachers as well as RPT members for a session of dialogue aimed at increasing high school student interest and success in dual credit projects. Topics will include supporting special needs students, interventions and accommodations, assessment evaluation, and the role of the dual credit teachers. Pre-forum meetings will be held in order to bring together teachers and students involved in RPT dual credits to gather feedback on what we are doing well and where areas of improvement are needed. Discussions regarding specific programs will help in ensuring that we are offering effective program opportunities. A strong relationship between college faculty and the dedicated teachers is critical to the success of students taking dual credits. This forum will facilitate the discussion of common experiences and observations, how to support students throughout the courses and when and how to intervene when they show signs of struggle. The goal is to build a common understanding of the value and importance of dual credits and the need to be proactive to foster increased student success. 13 SCWI/IJECT
Articulated Goals The goal is to build a common understanding of the value and importance of dual credits and the need to be proactive to foster increased student success. foster co-operation between the educators By being more knowledgeable about the college system, including curriculum delivery, assessment and evaluation, and supports, teachers will be better able to help students develop the learning and executive skills that will help them transition to college or apprenticeship. We want to foster a sense of community with this event and create open opportunities for brainstorming and collaboration to share best practices. 14 SCWI/IJECT
