District Interviews: Appendix A
ISTE and New America spoke with several school district leaders from around the country who shared aspects of PK-12 OER implementation that they believe deserve critical attention. Although each leader approached OER through different entry points, the consensus from the district leaders is clear: Ensuring the longevity of OER cannot be achieved by simply examining which proprietary textbooks can be substituted with openly licensed ones. This effort requires developing systemic reform strategies and supporting teachers through networked collaboration.
