New Instructional Materials Model Policy
Core Instructional Materials are the primary instructional resources for a given course. They are district-approved and provided to all students to help meet learning standards and provide instruction towards course requirements.
Alternative Core Materials are the primary instructional materials for a given course that are used with a subset of students. These materials are intended to replace approved core materials and may be used for specialized course offerings or flexible learning environments.

Intervention Materials are designed to support strategic or intensive intervention for students who are at risk of not meeting established learning standards.
Supplemental Materials are used in conjunction with the core instructional materials of a course. These items extend and support instruction.
Temporary Supplemental Materials are those items used in conjunction with the core instructional materials of a course that are of interest or value for a short period of time and are chosen within district-established guidelines.

Selecting Instructional Material
Does this meet the needs of my district with respect to target learning goals and identified needs.
Does the item need to go through a vetting process? By whom? What review instruments are available or what reviews already exist?
Do I have permission to use this? Are adaptations required and do you have permission to adapt?
What is the delivery platform? Consider equity and access issues.
Before you think about using ANY resource, you need to answer some questions…
Review Lenses – Building Your Team
Teachers/content specialists
Quality and alignment to state learning standards
Technology Specialists
Delivery platforms, access, and security considerations
Curriculum Specialist/Administration
Assess the needs for successful implementation of the instructional material at scale

Benefits of OER
District questions…
42Question Mark by Alexander Drachmann – CC BY SA
What should our vetting process look like?
How well do different OER platforms work when the device is offline (for students who do not have Internet access)?
How do we provide support for staff on how to review, choose and update an OER resource?
So many OER textbook publications are paper intensive but we need to print
to ensure equity of access for our students. How can this be overcome?
What are the implications of using OER with respect to current district policies?
How do different OER delivery platforms work with our existing LMS?
How we can effectively access high quality,up to date curriculum materials?
How do we locate other districts doing similar work to collaborate and share?
If OER are adopted, how often would they need to be reviewed to ensure that they continue to meet the established need? Should OER be considered supplemental?

#GoOpen – US Department of Education
#GoOpen
Department of Education is proposing a new regulation that would require all copyrightable intellectual property created with Department grant funds to have an open license.
Cohort of 10 districts has taken up the #GoOpen challenge to replace at least one textbook with openly licensed educational resources within the next year.
#GoOpen Ambassador Districts currently use openly licensed educational materials and are committed to helping other districts understand how to effectively discover and curate these resources
