Overview
OpenSciEd, a project housed within the National Center for Civic Innovation, is developing hands-on science instructional materials and teacher supports aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards. These resources are openly licensed and freely available to all teachers, schools, and districts. With this grant, OpenSciEd will collaborate with the Inclusive Design Research Centre to identify strategies to address the needs of students with learning differences. Together, they will develop, learn, and disseminate products and technologies that will benefit all students, particularly those with disabilities. (Substrategy: Content, Tools, and Services)

Grants to this Grantee
for supporting the OpenSciEd project
OpenSciEd is a project fiscally sponsored by the National Center for Civic Innovation. OpenSciEd brings together states, curriculum developers, and national science education leaders and experts to create a set of robust, research-based, openly licensed K-12 science instructional materials while also building demand for these materials and support for their implementation. This initiative will address several challenges currently facing science education in the United States, including designing exemplary research-based curricula to meet new standards and supporting high-quality instruction that results in deeper learning outcomes for students.
