Action Items:

What

Consider: Do I need to learn more about OER, OEP, and/or open licensing? Yes

Would be helpful to me if I can spend more time learning about the features and functionality of the microsite? No, I do not need more training on the features and functionality but it would be helpful to learn more about open license.

In my district/school, we have created openly-licensed content that could be added to the microsite.  Do I need to consider the process for making this happen?

Discussion/Notes:

Action Items:

Who?

Consider: I know there are OER champions already in my district/school. How can I best connect with them to discuss GoOpenNC? 

How can I best determine other instructional leaders in my district/school who can join me as thought partners as we investigate OER/OEP? Advisory Teams

Discussion/Notes:

Action Items:

When?

Consider: When are there opportunities for teachers and instructional leaders to engage in professional learning related to OER? The beginning of the school year.

When the district/school reviews and selects instructional materials, can we could consider OER and how those materials can be utilized? Yes

Discussion/Notes:

Action Items:

How?

Consider: I need to spend time considering how teachers in my district/school are currently selecting instructional materials, and what supports they need to effectively select high quality, standards aligned resources.

How can we best support teachers as they find, vet, use, and create OER. Share resources

Are there opportunities for teachers to curate and align OER to standards? PLC's
