Summary:
"Please join Future Ready Schools® (FRS) for a webinar that is part of its Leadership Hub, a one-stop-shop of professional learning opportunities for school leaders.
Open educational resources (OER) may be one of the most exciting—and most misunderstood—new options for schools and districts. Nine FRS superintendents, led by Matt Miller, have even made recent efforts to debunk key myths about OER. This webinar will focus on ways that FRS districts use OER to increase districtwide access to high-quality materials, both openly licensed supplements and full course curricula.
Speakers will answer frequently asked questions about OER, including
- What in the world is OER, anyway?
- How do I know if OER materials are high quality?
- Where can I find high-quality supplements? How can districts effectively store and share them across classrooms?
- How can I learn more about openly licensed core programs?
Panelists will share case studies from districts using OER to raise the bar for teaching and learning and will address questions submitted by viewers from across the nation."
