Overview
The State Educational Technology Directors Association is an organization composed of member states and school districts that work to build and increase the capacity of school leaders to improve education through technology policy and practice. The association will continue to advance the OER movement and institutionalize it in K–12 education, emphasizing the role of the states, including state education agencies, by raising awareness and providing technical assistance. This work will promote mainstream adoption of OER in K–12 and build leadership capacity for OER at state and national levels.

for an enhanced and sustainable digital representation of the Common Core standards
This proposal addresses the need for a common digital data structure to support widespread use of materials being created in conjunction with the Common Core State Standards. The grantee would partner with the nation’s two assessment development consortia to ensure that their work can be implemented and sustained long-term and that U.S. Department of Education requirements are met. We would share the cost of this project with the Gates and Carnegie foundations.
