Change is inevitable in education particularly with instructional materials. As technology advances, so does the opportunity to personalize, differentiate, and accelerate learning for students. Open Educational Resources (OER) provide just such an opportunity for educators. Successful resource adoption requires a plan and a committed person to deliver personalized professional development. The school library media specialist has traditionally been the force behind finding, evaluating, curating, and organizing resources for students and faculty alike whether with print and digital library materials or print and digital instructional materials. This Capstone provides the framework for professional development on locating, accessing, editing, storing, and aligning OER by middle school science teachers. The professional development series focuses on locating resources aligned to each grade's curriculum objectives and evaluating those resources according to Wiley's 5Rs of Openness to ensure the materials afford the greatest ability to access, personalize, edit, and store. The instruction also focuses on curating and organizing the resources so they are accessible by all teachers. Although the plan focuses specifically on middle school science teachers, the professional development model could easily be adapted for any other subject area or grade level.
