CHSPE @ Learningbytes.org

August 31, 2019 by KellyCooper Leave a Comment

Learningbytes is an online community where high school students and educators collaborate to pass the CA High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE).

There are multiple paths to a CA high school diploma. Some young people, whether due to C-19, college plans, or career opportunities, decide to prepare for the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) rather than attend high school for their junior and/or senior years.

Qualifying students are 16+ and completed 10th grade. The CHSPE is offered three times per year. The exam is simpler than the GED and students earn a high school certificate equivalent to a diploma. They can note, for colleges and jobs, they earned a high school diploma (awarded by California).

We collaboratively mentor students to pass the CHSPE in our online community. There is no fee. This is not a product or company – it’s a passion project and volunteer effort.

@One Online Teaching Principles Capstone

August 31, 2019 by KellyCooper Leave a Comment

@ONE is the Online Network of Educators working in conjunction with California Community College(CCC) Online Education Initiative (OEI). The goal is to provide training and professional development to community college instructors in the use of a variety of digital tools and platforms. The end result is to improve online teaching, learning, and most important student retention. Another goal from this initiative is to support all student learning from diverse backgrounds through specific courses that bring awareness to these issues and how to tackle these issues.

Let’s explore my experiences learning about the five principles for quality online teaching with @one faculty. Please select the links below:
