Grants to this Grantee
for supporting the transition and incorporation of courses into the Educurious portfolio
Founded in 2011, Educurious is a nonprofit organization that develops project-based curriculum and adaptive professional learning for teachers, school leaders, and system leaders in order to create authentic, challenging, active, and relevant learning experiences for every student. In January 2023, Educurious will become the new home of Sprocket, a platform hosting 10 research-based, full-year project-based learning courses and 13,000 educators. This grant will support the integration of Sprocket into Educurious’ OER business plan and preparation for the release of Sprocket courses for use at scale with supporting professional learning. This work advances the Open Education strategy’s goal to expand awareness and use of open educational resources and practices that are responsive for every learner.
