SUBJECT: Free, Comprehensive, and Open-Source Materials for Your Teachers

Dear Principal,

I am writing to call your attention to www.Curriki.org - a website for teachers that includes free access to over 32,000 K-12 high quality lessons, units, assessments and multimedia learning objects. All of the resources on Curriki are contributed by teachers, universities, publishers and education professional development organizations from around the world. Furthermore, content is 1) reviewed by subject-area experts to ensure quality and 2) licensed under various Creative Commons licenses which enable teachers to legally use, modify and share Curriki resources for their own classroom needs.

To start browsing Curriki resources by subject, click here. You can also use the advanced search option to look for resources for specific grades, languages, learning styles, etc.

Similar to an iTunes playlist, Curriki allows educators to build their own curricula by assembling resources from within the Curriki repository. Curriki tools also enable members to easily upload and share their own resources, as well as communicate and collaborate via the Curriki groups.

Curriki can support Schools and School districts by helping them:

1. Save costs on purchasing teaching resources - On average, school systems spend $4,500 on teaching resources per teacher. By using the free and open educational resources available on Curriki, you can reduce that cost by at least 50%.
2. Provide dynamic teaching resources - Curriki liberates school systems from static methods of teaching and learning, and helps all educators innovate in their classrooms on a daily basis, which we know can lead to increased student achievement.
3. Innovate at All Levels - Curriki connects principals and districts to a community of innovative educational professionals from around the world.
4. Manage Valuable Knowledge - Curriki ensures that even if teachers leave the system, their knowledge is still available for use in schools.

Get your teachers started on Curriki now, by forwarding them this link to become a member today.

If you need more help in setting up Curriki for use in your school, please check out our help collections. Should you have any questions please feel free to email Curriki’s Executive Director at bobbi@curriki.org, and I hope to see you on Curriki!

Sincerely,
