Tools to Evaluate Quality
Publisher’s Criteria
Tri-State/EQuIP Rubrics
OER Rubrics

Rubric I. Degree of Alignment to StandardsRubric II. Quality of Explanation of Subject MatterRubric III. Utility of Materials Designed to Support TeachingRubric IV. Quality of AssessmentRubric V. Degree of Technological InteractivityRubric VI. Quality of Instructional Tasks and Practice ExercisesRubric VII. Opportunity for Deeper Learning
NOTE: Sometimes one or more of the rubrics may not be relevant to a particular object.

Tri-State Quality Review Rubrics
The Tri-State Quality Review Rubric is designed to evaluate:Lessons that include instructional activities and assessments aligned to the CCSS that may extend over a few class periods or days.
Units that include integrated and focused lessons aligned to the CCSS that extend over a longer period of time.

Rubric Options
Achieve OER RubricsEvaluate individual OER “building block” assets Any combination of 8 rubrics may be used Online evaluation tool in line with Learning Registry
Tri-State Quality Review Rubric
Evaluate complete unit/lesson Would not capture some of the richness of smaller stand-alone OER assets never created to address all the rubric dimensions of a full lesson
CCSS Publisher’s Criteria
Rubric is written in broader strokes and might be better to evaluate full curriculum.Criteria is written for developers of CCSS materials so published material and full OER courses could be evaluated side-by-side
IndividualAsset
Unit /Lesson Plan
Full Curriculum
1. Creation of a review process for OER material useful to districts and sustainable over time
2. Development of a vetted list of full-curriculum OER
3. OER awareness campaign directed toward district
curriculum adopter decision-makersImportant• OSPI is NOT creating new OER content from scratch.
• OSPI is providing review of standards alignment and identification of potential resources – not an adoption mandate
