A non-profit publisher partnering with districts and schools to bring high-quality curriculum, professional learning, and peer communities to PK-12 classrooms.

Our Story

Our History

Founded in 2015, Open Up Resources began as the K–12 OER Collaborative, a 13- state initiative to address quality gaps in the curriculum market. What started as a promise to ensure high-quality curriculum was openly accessible has grown into an organization that supports educators through many facets of teaching and learning.

Our Vision

Open Up Resources provides educators the tools to transform their classrooms into communities of student achievement and education equity. We achieve this by providing educators best in class, research-based Pre K-12 curricula and professional learning so they may support every student’s academic success and create in-class experiences that celebrate, honor, and empower all students with a keen focus on historically excluded student populations.
