UClass Seeks Districts for Curriculum Repository Pilot Program

A new pilot program aims to give districts a custom portal where teachers can store and share curriculum and learning assets designed to support Common Core.

UClass, an online lesson exchange portal for K-12 educators, is seeking ten school districts to participate in its pilot program, UClass.io for Schools and Districts. Districts selected for the pilot will receive a custom content management system where teachers can find and share resources aimed at Common Core. Teachers will be able to access the system from any device.

In addition to the custom portal, participating districts will receive full access to UClass's archive of Common Core assets, professional development sessions and technical support, according to a statement from the company.

To apply for the pilot, please visit UClass's Web site. Application deadline is February 14, 2014. The pilot kicks off March 1.
