About the Open Educational Resource Library

Childhood Education International’s Open Educational Resource (OER) Library shares free professional development materials to support educators. The resources in this library were co-created by educators for educators as part of projects facilitated by CE International.

Use of the OERs

Educators are encouraged to modify and adapt these materials to customize them for their own unique needs and to collaborate with others to build upon and improve the resources.

We ask that users adhere to the Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial 4.0 International license that governs use of this resource and appreciate you acknowledging Childhood Education International in your training, on your course site, or wherever you make use of these resources.

For ensuring the most effective use of the OERs, we recommend contextualizing them to national education systems, priorities, and classroom realities, in collaboration with local educators. CPL can provide guidance and support for use of these materials, including how best to contextualize the material, facilitate professional development, assess impact and outcomes, or otherwise support teaching and learning. CPL provides these fee-for-service options based on project parameters.

Please contact us if you are interested in additional services to support implementation.

Development of the OER Library

This OER Library grew out of the Quality Holistic Learning (QHL) Project facilitated by Center for Professional Learning (CPL). The QHL Project was a response to the ongoing desire among teachers for professional learning and leadership opportunities that address concerns of quality, equity, and holistic earning in displacement and crisis contexts.

  • Open Educational Resources (English)

    As defined by UNESCO, open educational resources (OERs) are “learning, teaching and research materials in any format and medium that reside in the public domain or are under copyright that have been released under an open license, that permit no-cost access, re-use, re-purpose, adaptation and redistribution by others.” Our mission at CE International is to develop and amplify innovative solutions to education challenges that affirm children’s learning and development as the pathway to sustainable futures for all. Therefore, the creation of OERs is in our organizational DNA.

  • Ressources Éducatives Ouvertes (Français)

    Les ressources éducatives libres (REL), telles que définies par l’UNESCO, sont « du matériel d’apprentissage, d’enseignement et de recherche dans tous les formats et supports qui résident dans le domaine public ou sont sous copyright qui ont été publiés sous une licence ouverte, qui permettent l’accès, la réutilisation,l’adaptation et la redistribution sans frais par d’autres ». Mission : Développer et multiplier des solutions innovantes aux défis de l’éducation. De telles solutions affirment que l’apprentissage et le développement des enfants constituent la voie vers un avenir durable pour tous. Par conséquent, la création de REL est dans notre ADN organisationnel.

  • موارد تعليميّة مفتوحة (عربي)

    الموارد التّعليميّة المفتوحة، على النّحو الّذي حدّدته اليونسكو هي “موادٌّ تعليميّة وتدريسيّة وبحثيّة بأيّ شكلٍ ووسيلةٍ كانت، يتمّ نشرها في النّطاق العام، أو تخضع لحقوق الطّبع والنّشر الّتي تمّ إصدارها بموجب ترخيصٍ مفتوحٍ، والّتي تسمح بالوصول المجانيّ (دون تكلفة) كما تسمح بإعادة استخدامها وتوظيفها وتوزيعها من قِبَل الآخرين”. إنّ مهمّتنا في تتمثّل في مواجهة تحدّيات التّعليم من خلال تطوير وتوسيع الحلول المُبتكرة الّتي تؤكّد على أهميّة تعلّم الأطفال ونمائهم كمسار إلى مستقبل مُستدَام للجميع. لذلك، فإن إنشاء موجودٌ في صميم العمل التّنظيميّ الخاصّ بنا.
