Utah gets an open charter high school
David Wiley, The Open High School of Utah, iterating toward openness, May 12, 2008.
Comment. See my comments at gavinbaker.com: ... There are a few reasons this is particularly exciting. This school will have a strong concentrated interest in supporting OERs — you can expect the administration to be vocal advocates for favorable policies, funding, etc. The staff will develop deep experience with OERs, which can be shared with colleagues at traditional schools — and carried with them to future jobs. The school’s existence will establish a precedent, encouraging other educators to consider how to use OERs.Update. Wiley has posted the charter application documents. |
