A friend pointed me to this link the other day and it got me very excited. It is an open-source hub for early literacy curriculum. We definitely need more of this kind of open curriculum, sharing, and dissemination that is built by the collective wisdom of teachers everywhere. IMO, one enhancement of any open-source project would be to explicitly show how various curricular activities help to address particular state standards.
Are there other good examples in other subject areas? Please send them my way, I’d love to build a directory to point others to.
