PreK-12 OER in Practice

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. Learn from key district leaders as they highlight their process to put OER in practice.

A Guide for Practitioners, Leaders, and Decision Makers

For the past four years, New America has been tracking the growing use of OER across the country. Beginning in 2017, New America’s Public Interest Technology and Education Policy programs have fostered collaboration between a range of PreK–12 organizations that support OER work in states and districts. This interactive toolkit has been built with the goal of reflecting and sharing that work. It will grow as New America’s work in this space continues, with additional resources added on an ongoing basis—and your input can help! If your state or district is creating, using, and sharing OER, we want to recognize and help to share your work. Please contact us here with your OER stories.
