Overview
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) requests continued funding for its OER advocacy coalition. To support OER implementations nationwide, the coalition will raise awareness, support meetings, and provide policy analysis and technical assistance to states and the federal government. As one of its core activities, the project will identify and support three to five states where large-scale adoption of OER might be possible. This work will also clarify the metrics that CCSSO, the partners, and the Foundation will use to assess states’ progress across a range of activities. In addition, the project will continue federal advocacy efforts to ensure that national leaders know about states’ activities and breakthrough innovations. This is a tie-off grant.
