The OER Project Teacher Community, a vibrant online space where teachers and scholars share ideas on the latest teaching trends, ask questions, and gain access to a variety of professional-development opportunities.
What does OER stand for?
OER stands for open educational resources. That free worksheet you grabbed from Pinterest for your tenth-graders? That’s an example of OER. While there are great OER materials out there, they’re generally in the form of one-off lesson plans and activities that neither link to a standard nor fit into a clear framework. OER Project courses provide more than just quality content—they integrate the instructional and professional supports necessary to teachers so they can spend more time inspiring their students.
