Benefits of OER
“The legislature finds the state's
recent adoption of new learning
standards provides an opportunity
to develop a library of high-quality,
openly licensed
K-12 courseware that is aligned
with these standards.”

Why OER for ELA?
What (and how many) materials do teachers of ELA have:
… in their classrooms?
… in their book rooms at school?
… in their homes?
The Big Picture: Every Day, Every Child Has Access to
and Practice in These Components:
WERA P3_2014_Early Literacy
• Reading
• Writing
• Language
• Speaking & Listening
• Literacy in SS/H*
• Literacy in Sci/T*
• *-- 6-12th grades
Three Shifts in English Language Arts
• Building content knowledge through
content-rich nonfiction
• Reading, writing, and speaking grounded
in evidence from text, both literary and
informational
• Regular practice with complex text and
its academic language
WERA P3_2014_Early Literacy
CCSS “Text Complexity”
the right text for the right child for the right reason at the
right time
WERA P3_2014_Early Literacy
Best made by educators
employing their
professional judgment
Sample: ELA or Social Studies
Why OER for Supplemental or Full ELA Curriculum?
1. 100% use of purchased materials
2. Differentiation for students with different
needs
3. Ability to mark up texts at de minimis cost
4. Easy context & team- driven collaboration
5. Multiple platform access

Editor's Notes

  • #9 8
  • #15 http://www.mathematicsvisionproject.org/index.html http://mathwire.com/index.html  http://www.scoilnet.ie/TeachersSecondLevel.aspx http://www.adaptedmind.com/ http://www.teachengineering.org http://www.khanacademy.org/ http://phet.colorado.edu  http://www.hippocampus.org/ http://www.mathopenref.com 
  • #24 Standards 1-3: Key ideas and details Standards 4-6: Craft and structure Standards 7-9: Integration of knowledge and ideas The “What”– the CCSS provides standards outlining skills – but they work together. They aren’t separate pieces– they are comprehensive What you will see next are the biggest instructional shifts for teaching, for learning, for departments, for teams, for schools, and for systems. Keep in mind the comprehensive nature of CCSS– the shifts aren’t everything. They’re just the biggest pivot points, and hopefully they will leverage your good work together in strong ways.
  • #25  Overview: the big speech, how all the practical components work together to move us from now to better. Shifts represent things that are… shifts! They are moves from one skill set and knowledge base to another What we are continuing to strengthen aren’t shifts– things like foundational reading skills, like working with plot and theme, character development in fiction– those components still live as important, but are not identified as SHIFTS The shifts represent a re-framing of how we think about literacy– fewer discrete skills, and now a more comprehensive, authentic way to think about literacy
  • #26 “difficult” is not the same as “complex”
