Names, pronouns, and identities are all important in the development as humans. If we stopped to take a look at the instructional materials and books in our primary and secondary classrooms, would we see these elements? When students see themselves in the instructional materials in their classrooms, they are more likely to be engaged in their own learning. The concept of “windows and mirrors” should be considered when reviewing and implementing instructional materials. Windows allow us to see the perspective of others and mirrors allow us to see ourselves. What does this have to do with Open Educational Resources? Everything. When we leverage OER in our primary and secondary classrooms, we have the opportunity to provide new perspectives and ensure that windows and mirrors are included for all students. This presentation will address windows and mirrors and how OER can provide new perspectives to create inclusive curriculum.
