Summary:

"To accomplish that, [Barbara Soots'] office has been reaching out to districts, 'helping them understand there are rubrics out there, point them in the direction of some recognized OER repositories, and we’ve done a substantial amount of review of open resources as well,' she says.

That’s involved pulling together teachers together from across the state over the past three years to review materials and post results, she says. Her office also works with other states, as part of the larger #GoOpen initiative, launched by the Department of Education in October 2015 that aims to help teachers craft and share their own instructional materials.

'So if districts can’t find the exact resource they’re looking, they can at least find developers that are working in that space, that they might want to check,' she says."
