On Tuesday, February 14, 2023, #GoOpen held a public webinar titled, "Share the Love:  OER and Peer Mentoring."  This session featured Gina Loveless, Educational Technology Consultant with the Michigan Department of Education, and Yvette McMahon-Arnold, Director of Instructional Development, State Office of Curriculum & Instruction, at the Virgin Islands Department of Education, in conversation about how their collaboration offers high-value supports to their ongoing development of OER strategies and implementation.

This three-part module has been developed as an initial component developed to prepare K-12 educators to engage in independent study and initial exploration of culturally responsive teaching, the NGSS shifts, and relevant connections between NGSS and Common Core. This is part of a larger equity-focused professional development program designed for K-12 educators of NGSS working in throughout the rural areas of Oregon.We will complete this introductory module together on 10/11. It will take approximately 2 hours to complete and brings together many already developed resources in new ways.  An Oregon Science Project Digital Badge is available for anyone who completes this module.If you have any feedback please email canderson@grantspass.k12.or.us

Module A is the introductory module for the Oregon Science Project NGSS Learning Facilitator Program. For feedback, please email me at smartin@lakeesd.k12.or.us 

This template is part of the K-12 Voices for Open OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation.  The template, and the entire guide, is intendend as a strategic planning tool for district leaders wishing to promote the already pedagogically and financially compelling practice of creating or adapting open educational resources (OER) to help achieve district goals in serving all students through diversity, equity, inclusion, or accessibility (DEIA) lens.  The guide provides step-by-step planning tools, including examples, templates, and resources to help district leaders articulate and establish action plans for what we refer to as "OER-DEIA."  The entire guide is an open educational resource itself, free and openly licensed for reuse, remixing, and resharing.

Kelly Hammond, Open Educational Resources (OER) and Instructional Technology Adjust at CUNY School of Professional Studies, talks about the importance of developing a strategic introduction to the OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation that provides users with critical information that gives them a solid foundation when beginning their OER-DEIA journey.  As she developed this section of the guide she reflected on her own OER journey and asked herself the guiding question, "What would I have needed to know in order to get there faster and more comfortably?"

Tracy Rains, Virtual Learning Specialist at Appalachia Intermediate Unit, talks about developing two key components of the OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation:  The Collaboration Plan and the Educator and Staff Professional Learning Plan.  She provides insight into why both of these sections are critical to the success of any OER-DEIA initiative.

This video provides an overview of the K-12 Voices for Open OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation.  Amee Evans Godwin of ISKME and Rebecca M. Henderson of the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit provide you with an overview of the work being done by K-12 Voices for Open, the purpose of this guide, and the process of developing the guide.  Finally, they walk you through the nine sections of the K-12 Voices for Open OER-DEIA Action Plan for K-12 District Implementation, and explain the ways in which the sections can be used by districts.
