District/School/Network Name

1) Engaging with Resources - The WHAT:

#GoOpenNC has three main opportunities to interact with the resources on the platform.

Level of Engagement	What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 6 months?	What would be your vision for WHAT your educators would do in the next 18 months?
Find/Use Existing Resources	Curriculum resources from curriculum team loaded. Existing Learning Focused plans/units loaded. Focus on IV and PCVA cohort teachers	Focus on Canvas power users outside PCVA Google Certified Teachers through Mobile Mind cohort
Collect/Curate Resources and Collections	MCs curate existing resources to identify high-quality items AIG lesson plans and GoGrow resources	FTs/CTs gather resources from their COPs AIG/GoGrow teachers create collections of enrichment lessons/activities/resources for regular ed Ts MCs build folders of resources for relevant topics Have curating parties where groups come together to share resources they’ve found/used
Create/Upload Resources	Curriculum resources from curriculum team loaded. Existing Learning Focused plans/units loaded. Focus on IV and PCVA cohort teachers Beth and Lauren put PD resources for Instructional Tech on platform	Focus on Canvas power users outside PCVA Google Certified Teachers through Mobile Mind cohort MCs create units for elementary Encore MCs edit/revise guidelines for middle & high school library assistants AIG migrate lesson plans and resources from Google Site to platform. Maybe start with closed groups with the understanding that there is an expectation to eventually be shared with whole platform. Have PLC groups co-author a lesson/resource so that there’s more than one name on the item.

2) Engaging with Platform - The HOW:

#GoOpenNC has three main ways to participate on the platform

#GoOpenNC Initiative	What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 6 months?	What would be your vision for HOW your educators would participate on the platform in the next 18 months?
Share/Evaluate Resources	Targeted groups may begin sharing resources after initial PD (AIG/GoGrow/MC/FT/CT/IV/PCVA) After initial PD, targeted groups evaluate resources using rubric	Classroom teachers are encouraged to explore the platform by rating and leaving comments on resources using the rubric provided by DPI. Target groups begin to look for gaps in resources and fill in and/or reach out to those who can help fill in those gaps.
Participate in Professional Learning locally or statewide	Focus on changing mindset to one of “Community of Practice” and improvement over perfection. PD on Copyright and Creative Commons Can’t unknow what you’ve learned PD and practice with evaluating resources already in platform using the provided rubric.	PD and practice with evaluating resources created within district that are being prepared to share on platform
Network and Collaborate with Other NC Educators	Specialist groups ( ITFs, curriculum chairs, AIG, etc) begin to reach out to others in their areas	Specialist groups (ELL, Arts, Counselors, AIG, etc) begin to reach out to others in their areas
