Welcome to CurriculumWiki,

the open content online curriculum created by you!

CurriculumWiki is an open content online curriculum created by educators. The wiki provides a collaborative workspace for educators to develop and publish original curriculum resources. Every activity in CurriculumWiki is written by educators for their own students, but can be used by other educators and their students. You can also edit or adapt activities created by other educators. Don't be afraid! CurriculumWiki saves every version in the "history" tab at the top of the page. You can also use the "Link to this version" tool to direct your students to the version of an activity that is most appropriate for them.

Open content means that when you contribute to CurriculumWiki you agree to share your work with other educators and their students through a copyright license from Creative Commons.

Any new activities based on or adapted from your contributions must be for non-commercial purposes, must cite your original work, and must be licensed under the same conditions as your original work. When you contribute to CurriculumWiki, you are helping to create a complete and varied preK-12 online curriculum that will be available to your students and to students around the world.
