  • The initiative was a natural fit for Curriki, an online community for educators and a repository of free and open curricular materials, said the organization’s executive director, Barbara “Bobbi” Kurshan. “It’s so in line with what we do that it was easy to pull together the documents and materials and to show districts and states how to create collections of content,” she said.
