About Open Up Resources
Open Up Resources is a nonprofit developing the highest quality curriculum materials available to districts to promote educational equity. We partner with expert authors to develop and publish superb programs, and we support implementations with essential services like high-quality professional learning, digital and print materials, manipulative kits, and integrations with LMS systems. Our mission is to provide students and educators with equal access to rigorous, standards-aligned core materials. Learn more about us here.
Both! We offer high-quality core and supplemental programs to meet schools and districts where they are with their needs.
We offer core curricula for K–5 math, middle school math, high school math, and K–8th grade ELA. We offer a supplemental literacy program for grades 2–12.
Our goal is to improve teaching and learning, rather than profit; as our founding CEO told The Wall Street Journal, “We would like nothing more than to change the [curriculum] market to focus on learners’ needs rather than shareholder value.”
In order to sustain our operations, including continuous improvement of our curricula, a small portion of the revenue generated from our optional services goes to support our organization.
Open Education Resources are openly accessible materials that can be downloaded, edited, and shared to better serve all students. OER license types vary: some OER allow download and use, while others also allow adaptation. Regardless of the cost of curriculum, high-quality is our benchmark. We partner with expert authors to write the curriculum and then place the program through our rigorous quality assurance and Beta process to refine it.
