Overview
The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) is a nonpartisan, nationwide, nonprofit organization of public officials who head departments of elementary and secondary education in the states, the District of Columbia, the Department of Defense Education Activity, and five U.S. extra-state jurisdictions. CCSSO provides leadership, advocacy, and technical assistance on major educational issues, including Deeper Learning. The Council seeks member consensus on major educational issues and expresses their views to civic and professional organizations, federal agencies, Congress, and the public. The goals of this video conference grant are to reduce CCSSO's carbon footprint by reducing the actual need--and perceived staff need--for travel over time; support increased internal collaboration among CCSSO's national strategic initiative staff leadership team and the Innovation Lab Network staff, among others; and support increased external collaboration between CCSSO and partners, including regular engagement of Innovation Lab Network participants in nine states.

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.
