Open Up offers a math curriculum for 6th - 8th grade combined with quality professional development for teachers. Open Up Resources began as the K-12 Collaborative, a 13-state initiative to address quality gaps in the curriculum market. They partnered with leading math and ELA experts to design the very best standards-aligned core programs. Their products are provided to districts at no cost by publishing them as Open Educational Resources. Open Up Resources couples that curriculum with opportunities for essential supports, from professional development by the nation's premier teachers and educational experts to printed materials.

The 2020 Oklahoma Teacher of the Year will be named Sept. 17 in a ceremony at State Fair Park in Oklahoma City.

The "Bart" name has a long history influencing students in the Claremore area. As 3rd generation teacher @Kaylee Bart is one of the newest additions to the @Roosa Elementary staff. Although she is fresh out of college, Miss Bart leaped right into #STAFFSUMMERSCHOOL by attening three days at Camp SevenStar in Park Hill attending a virtual reality training. At this training, she was able to explore how to integrate virtual reality into her lessons. "I was able to get into a VR headset and immerse myself in many different environments. On the final day, we took our state academic standards and created a lesson plan using the VR headset; I was amazed at all of the different ways I can teach math using virtual reality." After arriving home, Miss Bart shared her experience with her mom, Mrs. Bart a WRJH math teacher who immediately began trying to figure out a way to utilize this tool in her classroom, "I want my students to be able to 'climb' into a quadrilateral when we start our geometry unit." Imagine the impact on learning this will have for our visual and kinesthetic learnings. Engaging more than one learning style is imperative because every student processes information differently. This training was made possible by the @American Indian Resource Center and the @NETSTAR program. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE
