All materials designed for use by students and their teachers as learning resources to help students to acquire facts, skills, and/or to develop cognitive processes. These instructional materials, used to help students meet state learning standards, may be printed or digital, and may include textbooks, technology-based materials, other educational media, and assessments. They may carry different licensing types from open to all rights reserved.
Under the Instructional Materials Umbrella
Individual units, lessons, and plans Supplemental resources – formally adopted or not
K-12 core curricula District-created materials/resources

Instructional Materials Categories Core Instructional Materials are the primary instructional resources for a given course. They are district-approved and provided to all students to help meet learning standards and provide instruction towards course requirements.
Alternative Core Materials are the primary instructional materials for a given course that are used with a subset of students. These materials are intended to replace approved core materials and may be used for specialized course offerings or flexible learning environments.

Intervention Materials are designed to support strategic or intensive intervention for students who are at risk of not meeting established learning standards.
Supplemental Materials are used in conjunction with the core instructional materials of a course. These items extend and support instruction.
Temporary Supplemental Materials are those items used in conjunction with the core instructional materials of a course that are of interest or value for a short period of time and are chosen within district-established guidelines.

The 5 Rs of OER
Reuse — copy verbatim
Redistribute — share with others
Revise — adapt and edit
Remix — combine resources
Retain — make, own, & control copiesPhoto by Leo Reynolds - Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License https://www.flickr.com/photos/49968232@N00

Reviewing Instructional Material
What category of instructional materials does the resource fall into? Does the item need to go through a vetting process? By whom?
Do I have permission to use this? Is it open? What license type?
Are adaptations required and do you have permission to adapt?
What is the delivery platform? Is it accessible offline?
Before you think about using ANY resource, you need to answer some questions…

learning standards
