OSPI staff will provide relevant updates on implementation and supports for the Common Core State Standards, then participants will have an opportunity to learn about the OER in the context of the state’s current landscape (state, regional, and local levels). There will be time for discussion about OER overall, and within the upcoming legislative session, what role NWERA might play to support an informed dialogue about the topic with state policy makers.</span></span></p>
