The OER Foundation is keen to start commissioning the development of teaching materials for New Zealand's OER commons in the school sector ( http://wikieducator.org/OERNZ).
With funding support from the Ministry of Education under the reusable and portable content initiative, we plan to seed the development of OER content for New Zealand schools on WikiEducator. In short paying an honorarium to teachers for developing OER in support of the national curriculum.
This requires consent from the copyright owners, and in the New Zealand school sector this means the School Board of Trustees. I've prepared a draft copyright license permission clearance form which the Board of Trustees would need to sign before the OER Foundation can contract development and payment for the OER. See:
Would be great if members of these lists could take a look. Any thoughts or suggestions for improvement are most welcome.
Cheers Wayne

It is a great initiative that would save millions of dollars for all the
schools collectively and ultimately for the MEO.
Hundreds of teachers man hours will be saved by just using, copying,
editing, customising and redistributing such resources at nil cost.
Collaborative development of resources in itself is a well conceived wonder.
Well done Wayne!
Congratulations to the community of teachers of every subject and to every
school. (Just the teachers need to learn to use WE)

Yes --- I'm sure that there will be demand for this -- Apart from releasing
high quality materials under a CC-BY or CC-BY-SA license which can be reused
in NZ schools, Your skills will be a valuable asset to providing support to
experienced teachers who may not be well versed with wiki skills. Note that
you will still retain copyright on the materials :-).
The minimum requirement for the OER "bounties" will be resources which are
part of the NZ curriculum -- it might be worth thinking about ways to team
up with a teacher(s) in your particular area of expertise to assist with
review and fit with the national curriculum.
The first phase of the process will focus on developing a few exemplar
lesson templates and example lessons. It seems that an agile learn-by-doing
approach will be best way to: tweak the templates and pilot the examples,
figure out the best way to map the resources to the curriculum, develop
supporting materials to help teachers with the development of OERs, figure
out the best wiki solution for incorporating meta data etc.
I'm starting work on the first draft of a "Standard lesson template" --
see:
Please note -- this is very much work in progress and first draft. It is
likely to change :-) - -Watch this space, we're making good progress and we
welcome feedback on the corresponding talk pages in the wiki.
Cheers

OK, I'm just finishing up a nice little unit on flat file databases
for moodleschools and will have a look at adapting that using your
templates. If anyone on the group wants to try using it that would be
great - it's a flat file, middle school ict, uses an exported iTunes
library so has 1000's of records - MS Excel/Access thing. Complete
with lesson plans and worksheets (already used in a real class too).

Sounds like an excellent example to test, pilot and help refine the standard
lesson template.
I suspect that there will be other templates needed as well, for example
specific pedagogical approaches like "ASSURE" (
http://www.nelliemuller.com/Assure.Introduction.htm) and specific templates
designed for use in different schools. Its been 20 years since I've taught
in a secondary school classroom and must say that my lesson planning skills
are a tad rusty ;-). Nonetheless having fun revisiting the art.
The advantage with the wiki model is that the templates are not prescriptive
and can be adapted and changed to fit different needs -- no major coding
needed on the database :-)
Cheers
