The Association’s mission is to lead the charter public schools movement in California in order to increase the number of students attending high quality charter schools. The CK-12 Foundation began partnering with the Association in 2009, in a pilot program to use Geometry and Biology FlexBooks in charter high school classrooms in order to enhance the delivery of innovative academic content and receive feedback from teachers and students for the purpose of improving and further developing the FlexBooks.

High Tech High
High Tech High began in 2000 as a single charter high school launched by a coalition of San Diego business leaders and educators. HTH has been a supporter of CK-12 from the very inception of the organization. Math teachers have stepped forward to contribute their expertise as well as their content to seeding of our content. In addition, HTH leadership has offered their expertise as we have moved forward.

The Nueva School
Nueva is a nationally recognized independent school serving gifted and talented students. Instead of textbooks, the children work with a combination of trade books, primary sources, and teacher-created materials. CK-12 will allow our teachers to work collaboratively with each other, and with teachers from other schools and locations, quickly and easily to create content-rich and professional-looking materials perfectly suited to our students’ particular needs, from a variety of sources. The ability then to share these materials with teachers all over the world will, in addition to making vast resources available, enable the creation of communities of teachers and home-school parents who all share an interest in a particular topic.

Public Knowledge Project
The Public Knowledge Project is a research and development initiative directed toward improving the scholarly and public quality of academic research through the development of innovative online publishing and knowledge-sharing environments. PKP shares with CK-12 a commitment to using new online technologies to increase access to learning resources, in ways that enhance the quality of those materials and the contribution that they can make to the public good.

Riverside Unified School District
Last year RUSD and CK-12 collaborated in the Governor’s Free Digital Textbook Initiative. CK-12 was the main contributor to the resources submitted and approved by the state and also approved as supplemental resources for Riverside Unified School District. Last year 25 teachers and 2000 students participated in RUSD’s pilot. Students across the district downloaded and used 16 of CK-12’s flexbooks. This year the pilot continues and will be expanded to include even more teachers and students. CK-12’s flexbooks allow for customized, standards based teaching and learning that meets the learner’s needs. RUSD will be piloting the CK-12 Algebra 1 resources at several middle schools this year. RUSD is excited by the potential that CK-12 brings to our continuing collaboration and we look forward to working with them to change how textbooks are delivered and used throughout the district, the state, and the nation.

San Jose State University – College of Science
The College of Science, at San Jose State University began a collaboration with CK12 in December, 2008. Currently, it is a 3-year project entitled “Integrative Climate Change Education for Sustainability”. The Project will unite faculty in San Jose State University’s Colleges of Science, Education and Social Science with teachers and administrators in three local school districts to develop three learning modules that incorporate California science and mathematics standards for 6th grade. Modules to include: 1) Earth’s Changing Climate, 2) Climate Change and Biodiversity, and 3) Earth’s Resources. Through our partnership with CK-12, the modules and accompanying simulations will be offered to school districts through their open source digital FlexBooks.
