In 2012, Washington passed a bill directing OSPI to identify a library of openly licensed courseware

OSPI will suggest OER courseware to school districts that are less expensive , more current, and aligned to the Common Core State Standards.

1. Creation of a review process for OER material useful to districts and sustainable over time

2. Development of a vetted list of full-curriculum OER

3. OER awareness campaign directed toward district

curriculum adopter decision-makersImportant• OSPI is NOT creating new OER content from scratch.

• OSPI is providing review of standards alignment and identification of potential resources – not an adoption mandate

• All materials OSPI builds, as part of this project, will be licensed CC BY
