Communication and Collaboration Between Districts <br />7 Increased Access to High School Courses Across Districts <br />OCS students should have access to CHCCS Advanced Placement (AP) courses that <br />may be different from 005 offerings, or that may be available when OCS courses are not <br />offered. Reciprocally, CHCCS students interested in OCS courses that are not offered in <br />CHCCS should have access to them, notably AP and Honors courses as well as courses in the <br />Career Tech Program area of the OCS curriculum. In addition, CHCCS should have access <br />to OCS programs that offer certificates that qualify students for employment directly <br />after graduation. <br />8. Development of Shared /Nomenclature <br />Collaboration between the two school districts to arrive at a similar nomenclature <br />for personnel positions would greatly clarify efforts to study and compare resources. <br />9. Increased Collaborative Professional Development Across Districts <br />The UNC- Chapel Hill School of Education's Center for Educational Excellence may <br />provide a place as well as facilitation for collaborative professional development ventures <br />between the districts, extending some of the collaboration that already takes place under <br />the auspices of the Research Triangle Schools Partnership. We recommend that this <br />proposal be explored by the CHCCS, OCS, the UNC - Chapel Hill School of Education, and the <br />Center. <br />
