EQuIP (Educators Evaluating the Quality of Instructional Products) is an initiative designed to identify high-quality materials aligned to the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) or Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

The objectives are two-fold:
1) Increase the supply of high quality lessons and units aligned to the CCSS or the NGSS that are available to elementary, middle, and high school teachers as soon as possible; and
2) Build the capacity of educators to evaluate and improve the quality of instructional materials for use in their classrooms and schools.

Rating
0.0 stars

Even among educators who have been successful at educating ELLs under traditional supports and programs, the level of knowledge required to do the job successfully has increased. This paper considers more aggressive and creative capacity-building initiatives that strengthen and integrate the disciplinary teaching strategies with literacy and language development strategies. The authors discuss the value and implications of new partnerships, of structures for collaboration, and of time dedicated to engaging experts from different fields in the design and delivery of teacher preparation and professional development.

Open Educational Resources (OER) offer opportunities for increasing equity and access to high-quality K–12 education. Many state education agencies now have offices devoted to identifying and using OERs and other digital resources in their states. To help states, districts, teachers, and other users determine the degree of alignment of OERs to the Common Core State Standards, and to determine aspects of quality of OERs, Achieve has developed eight rubrics in collaboration with leaders from the OER community.

What Does Text Complexity Mean for English Learners and Language Minority Students?

Some Rights Reserved
Rating
0.0 stars

This paper addresses the implications, for ELLs, of the new standard's requirement that students be able to read and understand complex, informationally dense texts. The authors discuss the types of supports that learners need in order to work with complex texts. They also provide a sample of what academic discourse involves, using an excerpt from Martin Luther King, Jr.'s Letter from Birmingham Jail. They demonstrate how English learners can be provided with strategies for accessing complex texts, such as closely examining one sentence at a time. The authors argue that instruction must go beyond vocabulary and should begin with an examination of our beliefs about language, literacy and learning.

Generative AI and Open Educational Resources: Opportunities and Pitfalls
Unrestricted Use
CC BY
Rating
0.0 stars

This talk explores the intersection of generative AI and Open Educational Resources (OER), examining both the exciting opportunities and the inherent challenges. Generative AI offers the potential to revolutionize OER creation, adaptation, and delivery. It can assist with drafting, translation, improved accessibility, and can facilitate personalized learning experiences. However, critical issues such as access disparities, content quality concerns, amplified biases, copyright complexities, and data privacy must also be addressed. The talk calls for responsible and transparent use of AI, encouraging educators to experiment, stay informed, and prioritize an ethical approach in deploying AI tools to enhance open education.
