Michigan Online Resource for Educators (MORE) provides Websites that are aligned to and searchable by Michigan's Grade Level and High School Content Expectations as contained in Michigan's Curriculum Framework. Thinkfinity resources were added to MORE, offering standards-based, grade-specific, lesson plans, online interactive tools, and reference materials. MORE content has been collected, tagged and easily shared, allowing other states, regardless of budget restrictions, to develop a resource portal aligned to standards.
To assist other states efforts to map educator resources to state-specific or Common Core State Standards, LearnGauge and the Michigan Department of Education are offering the CWIS based MORE framework as a freely available and royalty free download.
States can use this framework to accelerate their portal development. If needed, LearnGauge can provide development assistance to modify the portal for individual needs or to provide hosting services.
