While discussing this, a friend told me about Colorado OER. Attending their annual conference provided invaluable insights into leveraging open educational resources effectively. Having access to these resources in our elementary school, already aligned to standards, especially in social studies and science, supports teachers' time, is cost-effective, and provides enriched learning experiences for both teachers and students."

"As a middle school and high school teacher in a small rural PK-12 district, I had 7 preps: STEM, 7th grade science, career math, Dual Enrollment College Algebra, Algebra I, Spanish and a game design elective. I was always searching for free supplemental resources to enrich or reteach concepts, and for niche curriculums. I didn't know "searching for free resources" had a name! Now that I know about openly-licensed educational resources and have a one-stop location to search for these it is a game changer for me. I highly recommend the Utah Middle School Math program and the Mathematics Vision Project."
