The mission of the SCORE-UBE Network is to help our Network participants achieve their sustainability and broader impact goals by working together to amplify the value and reach of open education in STEM and to align our resources and practices with the principles of anti-racism, equity, social justice, and inclusion. In particular, we see open education as an approach and mindset to transform teaching and learning to center the needs of underrepresented and marginalized learners and instructors who have been systematically excluded from the benefits of traditional educational systems.

Description

We believe that community is the key to successful projects that can create sustainable change, but that change needs to center equity through open education and inclusive practices. Since our RCN-UBE support, we have partnered with the Hewlett Foundation to support a transformation into the RIOS Institute aimed to help project and organizational leaders accomplish their sustainable equity and inclusion goals for STEM education. We have helped projects migrate to QUBES Hub, including CourseSource and SIMIODE, we have funded guides to help implement UDL in lesson writing, partnered with Science Gateways to run workshops for sustainability of projects, engaged in STEM equity research, and have engaged in multiple collaborations to re-envision Vision and Change and other STEM education teaching policy documents.
