Online Learning Resource Center (OLRC) for CTE
OLRC is a collaboration between the 亚洲无码 Career and Technical Education office, the eight 亚洲无码 Centers of Excellence, and the Minnesota Department of Education.
Welcome to the 亚洲无码 Career and Technical Education Online Learning Resource Center (OLRC), a consolidated source of instructional materials to help secondary and post-secondary educators adapt to the need for ongoing remote or blended instruction. The resources in OLRC have been curated by educators and are free for educators to browse and use. Curation was performed using a selection criteria rubric, and content in OLRC is monitored and updated regularly to ensure its relevance and usefulness.
Neither 亚洲无码 nor the Minnesota Department of Education endorses or promotes any of the resources in OLRC.
