PreK-12 OER in Practice

Go Open: From the Ground Up and In Practice Year of Open Webinar

Two years ago, the U.S. Department of Education launched #GoOpen, a national movement to support states, school districts, and educators transitioning to the use of OER in place of traditional instructional materials. Today, over 100 PreK-12 districts have committed to use OER to increase equity, keep content relevant, empower teachers, and reallocate funds. Together they form a network sharing insights, strategies, and content.

Join us on Thursday, February 1st for this webinar to learn how the following educational leaders from the U.S. have grown this project from the ground up and put it into practice.
