Hello all,

I teach several Early Childhood courses at the community college level and am helping our team transition fully to OER. I currently use the College of the Canyons OER texts for most of my courses (thank you, Jennifer and team!), but I’m lacking resources in two areas:

  1. A strong Field Placement/Practicum resource
  2. A resource for my Program Administration course (specific to providers who want to run child development programs, typically center-based)

If anyone is aware of OER materials for either of these areas, I’d greatly appreciate any information you can share.

Thank you,
~Matt

Matt,
It could use an update, but this document lists some OER and library-licensed ebooks for an early childhood administration & advocacy course at my institution. It's a list I created upon request of the instructor. Perhaps some of the listed resources will be helpful for you!

Hi Matt, 

You may be able to adopt/adapt the Human Services Practicum textbook and ancillaries recently soft-launched in Oregon. Relevant links are on this page: https://openoregon.org/open-curriculum-projects-soft-launch/

FYI, 
Amy
