OpenSciEd is a set of Creative Commons licensed, standards aligned curriculum and teacher professional learning materials that will be available for grades K-12. Using a storyline model that gives students the responsibility of "figuring out" science phenomena by engaging in science practices and classroom discussion to achieve consensus, OpenSciEd "empowers educators to go beyond traditional science teaching methods." This instructional model is ambitious for teachers, who must serve as facilitators and continually adapt instruction in response to directions students take. Because of this instructional shift, districts must also shift in how they adopt and implement science curriculum. Among the aims of the OpenSciEd Research Community, led by Digital Promise with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York, is to develop and disseminate resources that support advancement of OpenSciEd-enabled research. Toward this goal, Digital Promise has released this report that synthesizes perspectives from OpenSciEd practitioners on their needs. The report identifies: (1) supports that teachers need to enact OpenSciEd with integrity, engage all their students, and gather evidence of students' standards-based learning outcomes; (2) ways districts can achieve deep, sustained adoption and meet their teachers' needs; and (3) potential research questions and opportunities for innovation that can improve OpenSciEd implementation in districts and classrooms.
