Overview
The Council of Chief State School Officers is a nonpartisan organization of public officials nationwide who head departments of elementary and secondary education. It provides leadership, advocacy, and technical assistance on major educational issues. Through its nascent Innovation Lab Network—a seven-member consortium of states advancing next-generation college- and career-readiness policy, practice, and assessments—the Council will further policies to promote deeper learning at all levels. The goals of this grant are to foster links between school, district, and state reforms and to build a multistate consensus on policies and practices that will move deeper learning forward.

for support of the Learning Registry
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) is a membership association that serves the heads of state departments of elementary and secondary education. CCSSO would help provide support for Learning Registry - known as "the card catalog for digital resources" - focusing on working on the governance, maintenance, and future upgrades of Learning Registry with guidance and technical support from its members, and other entities such as its partners, the U.S. Department of Education, and other people and groups interested in Open Education Resources (OER). This work is expected to advance the OER program's strategic goal of supporting a robust technical and institutional infrastructure for the broader OER stakeholder community.
