Summary:
- "Most importantly, the full-course, OER-based, curriculum is a result of a 21st-Century Collaboration Model: the core materials were developed by recognized math education experts from Illustrative Mathematics, led by Bill McCallum (a lead author of the CCSS), and then classroom tested and modified by 175 classroom teachers in 6 school districts.
- The curriculum is available on paper for the 50% of American classrooms that are still not 1-to-1. But for 1-to-1 classrooms, the curriculum can be used with 'common Learning Management Systems' and there is a version that is embedded in Microsoft OneNote.
- And then, in 2017, Open Up Resources has partnered with EL Education 'to offer openly licensed English language arts curriculum' for K-5."
