DESCRIPTION
ISKME presents its work with OER Commons, and connects Open Educational Resources (OER) to the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in and across states, districts and schools. Teachers and school leaders are building capacity for finding, creating, evaluating, and sharing digital resources online using OER Commons to meet the demands of the new standards.TRANSCRIPT

How to evaluate for OER Quality?
Achieve tool for evaluating resources on quality dimensions
Rubric dimensions:
1.Quality of explanation of the subject matter
2.Utility of the materials designed to support teaching
3.Quality of assessments
4.Quality of technological interactivity
5.Quality of instructional and practice exercises
6.Opportunities for deeper learning

EQuIP tool for evaluating resources on alignment to state standards
Rubric dimensions:
1.Alignment to the depth of the CCSS (Common Core State Standards)
2.Key shifts in the CCSS
3.Instructional supports
4.Assessment

Implementing CCSS with new resources and processes…
• How can we help teachers determine what dimensions of a resource need to be improved for it to be considered exemplary?
• Where should professional development efforts with teachers be focused?

How Might We Leverage OER to Address Challenges?
• Identify resources relevant to CCSS and select exemplars for immediate use
• Align resources to the appropriate Common Core standard(s)
• Evaluate resource quality
• Develop an easy-to-use organization system for educators
