Across the country, districts are choosing to #GoOpen and transitioning to the use of openly licensed educational resources to improve student learning in their schools. Openly licensed educational resources enable districts to reallocate significant funds currently spent on inflexible, static learning materials to resources and activities that accelerate the transition to digital learning. These include implementing new professional learning programs for teachers, developing a robust technology infrastructure to support digital learning, and funding new leadership roles for educators who curate and create openly licensed educational materials. The transition to openly licensed educational resources is about more than cost savings, though. In districts where educators curate and create high-quality openly licensed educational resources, students have more personalized learning opportunities, and teachers have greater freedom to design and implement learning experiences that inflexible, static learning materials cannot always support. This Launch Packet is designed for districts that have decided to implement a systematic approach to incorporating openly licensed educational resources into their curriculum by becoming a #GoOpen District. Drawing on the experiences and best practices of #GoOpen Ambassador Districts, the packet breaks down the process for implementing openly licensed educational resources into five phases: (1) Setting Goals and a Strategy; (2) Selecting and Organizing a Implementation Team; (3) Putting in Place a Robust Infrastructure for Learning; (4) Ensuring High-Quality Learning Resources; and (5) Designing Professional Learning Opportunities. For each phase, the packet provides recommended tasks, guiding questions to keep districts moving forward, examples of how #GoOpen Ambassador Districts have addressed specific questions and challenges and relevant resources to support district work.
