What’s new on the Washington OER Hub: 30 Resources in 50 Minutes
Seattle Convention Center - 612
OSPI grantees and contractors from programs across the agency were hard at work last year creating exceptional instructional resources - free for educators to use and adapt. Come get a bird’s-eye view of 30 of these exciting new resources available on the Washington OER Hub. Content areas include health and physical education, Washington state history, special education, social emotional learning, social studies, world languages and financial literacy, to name a few. These robust lessons, units, professional learning resources, and full courses align with Washington learning standards and may be adapted to meet student needs and regional context. We’re not taking a deep drive into any of the materials, this is intended to spark your interest, encourage further exploration, find connections with your work, and SHARE with others.
