In addition to the OER curriculum we will be including and using multiple sources to get alternative views and perspectives of history.  We will be using primary and secondary sources to make sure students can see events from a bird's eye view and be able to critically think about and examine these events. 

Examples: An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States for Young People by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz
History of International Relations: A Non-European Perspective by Erik Ringmar


The Oer project is a curriculum developed by History teachers from all over the world from diverse countries, ethnicities and perspectives
The creators and advisory board is listed below
