Remix CCS #GoOpenNC Community Building Next Steps

Created Jan. 24, 2024 by Nancy Childress

District/School/Network Name

#GoOpenNC has three main opportunities to interact with the resources on the platform.

Level of Engagement	What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 6 months?	What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 18 months?
Find/Use Existing Resources		In collaboration with other consultants, a plan would be to upload existing resources and in October and beyond, to introduce this into our existing trainings to teachers.
Collect/Curate Resources and Collections	As a DPI Consultant for Autism, I will consult with other DPI consultants such as the Consultant for Significant Cognitive Disabilities to formulate a plan to use the platform to collect, curate as well as upload resource for Extended Content Standards (ECS) teachers.
Create/Upload Resources		The vision would be for ECS teachers to use this platform in the same way as their general education counterparts.

#GoOpenNC has three main ways to participate on the platform

#GoOpenNC Initiative	What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 6 months?	What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 18 months?
Share/Evaluate Resources	First, DPI consultants will vet and upload resources as well a present this platform in existing trainings to teachers. We may develop some structure around using the platforms (hubs and groups) to assist teachers as they use the platform.
Participate in Professional Learning locally or statewide
Network and Collaborate with Other NC Educators	A vision here would be to create PLCs statewide which incorporate this platform into its structure.

#GoOpenNC has opportunities for all educators to being engaging. Consider who would be your main early engagers in the next 6 months.
