In , the U. Department of Education encouraged districts to begin using open education resources, including textbooks, videos, tests, modules, complete courses, software or any tool or resource a teacher might incorporate into the classroom. If a lesson plan or activity is not clearly tagged or marked as being in the public domain or having an open license, it is not OER. Because of the complexities of copyright law, experts urge district leaders to create and follow policies regarding the use of copyrighted materials.
In the educational context, ambiguity about who owns what can lead to hurt feelings, financial disputes and — in the worst case scenario — a district losing the ability to use content created by its own teachers. Districts that are intentional in these efforts and create clear policies and procedures for the educators creating and curating their curriculum can reap the benefits of custom curriculum while minimizing potential risks, such as lawsuits that could arise if educators use content without permission.
To solve the access challenge, DCPS searched for print ELA materials that covered the full range of standards and topics that were important and relevant for their students. Still, the team was unable to find any commercial curricula that met their criteria.
Delivering printed materials was fundamental to the solution in DCPS. Digital delivery requires a device, internet access and digital fluency and understanding on the part of both students and teachers.
For school districts with wide disparities in income and education, digital solutions can exacerbate inequality. Students and teachers are familiar with print and face few barriers to interacting with the format. While numerous commercially available print materials exist — including traditional textbooks — these materials are developed for general appeal by meeting a broad set of common standards and themes.
This approach, which results in minimal need for differentiation in the instructional materials from state to state, helps the textbook publishers achieve scale cost-effectively but at the cost of providing districts and their students with relevant content that addresses local needs.
For DCPS, a custom curriculum provided the only path for meeting the needs of all their students. Frustrated with the historically struggling performance of its public schools, the Louisiana Department of Education LDOE began a search for a well-rounded, standards-based ELA curriculum by turning to traditional textbook solutions.
To provide the necessary high-quality, complex texts that would support the new lesson plans, the LDOE selected copyrighted materials e. Proceeding with this copyrighted content without a licensing and distribution solution would result in significant implementation barriers ranging from districts infringing copyright law to excluding critical elements of the curriculum.
XanEdu and its partner, Copyright Clearance Center CCC , managed the permissions licensing as well as the editorial, design and production and distribution process for the Readers. By packaging the copyrighted materials together, the LDOE created a straightforward, legally compliant mechanism for districts that were accessible and easy for teachers to use, thereby removing previous implementation barriers. In addition to having a high-quality curriculum, this more affordable solution allowed the LDOE to access additional funding for aggressive professional development and implementation support.
Customization can be a wonderful tool for school districts for addressing the challenges of adoption, equity and relevance. But when done poorly, the process can create even more challenges — including potential legal issues.
Districts that have successfully implemented custom content, such as a variety of authentic text, have done so intentionally. Whether students return to brick-and-mortar classrooms or virtual ones, the school year will present myriad challenges for educators because of the coronavirus.
The sudden shift to distance learning in March created unprecedented disruption — makeshift digital lesson plans, widespread disparities in access to technology, harried parents unprepared for their role in homeschooling — resulting in unequal learning outcomes across student populations. At the same time, districts are expecting budget cuts as they face a unique recession where they must provide additional services, particularly for subsets of students significantly impacted by school closures, with potentially fewer resources.
Content customization will allow districts to build that into the curriculum, which will increase the opportunity for more equitable learning.
