In 2012, Washington state passed legislation directing the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) to create a library of openly licensed courseware and promote OER awareness and adoption. Over the past six years, the K-12 OER Project has evolved in response to stakeholder needs. Learn about some of the successful strategies we have used and challenges we\u2019ve experienced along the way.<\/p>\n

Work with pre-service teachers has demonstrated the value of being able to quickly and efficiently isolate quality resources specific to a particular grade, outcome and subject. Any teaching resource (including OER) is only valuable when it is easily accessible at the time of need. This presentation will share strategies used in our pre-service teacher curriculum materials center to try and address this challenge. Specifically, the following questions will provide the focus: What tools do we provide for connecting resources to curriculum? How are we preparing for the shift to new provincial curriculum? What are the opportunities for growth and collaboration?<\/p>\n
