Additional Information

In order to be considered for funding, proposals must show a plan of action to address one of the following content or focus areas as well as one or more of the project areas:

Content/Focus Area Options:

• Early Learning: English Language Arts
• Early Learning: Mathematics
• Early Learning: Science
• Early Learning in Other Content Areas (not ELA, Math, or Science)

Project Focus Areas:

• Selection and/or adoption of high-quality, early learning instructional materials. The focus of this option is on selecting or adopting high-quality, standards-aligned instructional early learning materials according to nationally recognized, third-party reviewers (e.g. EdReports.org). For instructional materials that have not been reviewed by a nationally recognized, third-party reviewer (e.g. publisher claims materials are aligned to standards), the purpose is to engage in a review of the instructional materials to determine their quality and alignment to standards using a nationally recognized standards alignment rubric like EdReports.org or IMET. This option is intended to create a repository of tools within the WISELearn Resources Library that districts can use to support the selection and/or adoption of high-quality, early learning instructional materials.
• Implementation of high-quality, early learning instructional materials. The focus of this option is on implementation of high-quality, standards-aligned early learning instructional materials according to nationally recognized, third-party reviewers or alignment rubrics like EdReports.org or IMET. Such implementation should include planning for and/or implementing on-going, job-embedded professional learning focused on meeting the needs of every learner and the use of high-quality, standards-aligned early learning instructional materials. This option is intended to create a repository of tools and/or exemplar plans within the WISELearn Resources Library which support the implementation of high-quality, standards-aligned early learning instructional materials for use across the state.
• Creation and dissemination of high-quality, early learning instructional materials. The focus of this option is to create high quality, standards aligned, early learning open educational resources and provide wide-scale dissemination of district-generated, standards aligned instructional materials available through the WISELearn Resources Library.
• Enhancing collaboration focused of high-quality, early learning instructional materials. The focus of this option is on collaboration with various partners to develop and identify open educational resources, supports, and best practices. It is intended to help in the ongoing implementation of early learning open educational resources and other high quality instructional materials for use across the state via the WISELearn Resources Library.
• High-quality early learning resource curation. The focus of this option is on curation and adaptation of high quality, currently available early learning open educational resources. It is intended to create repositories of instructional materials in specific content area(s) within the WISELearn Resources Library.
