California’s Brokers of Expertise An initiative of the State of California

Brokers of Expertise is built on a set of underlying beliefs targeted at closing the achievement gap in California

If Educators could… find appropriate ideas and resources more easily, they could be more effective. participate in more positive peer-cultures, their jobs would be easier. "see" excellence, it would be easier for them to replicate it. publish their work, there would be more low cost, high quality materials available to everyone.

If Educators could… get involved earlier in their career with excellence, they could become better teachers faster. have access to an online library of officially sanctioned, high quality, research-based, standards-aligned materials, they could make use of those materials for improved teaching and learning. search for resources via an easy to use standards browser, they could find relevant resources for their work much more quickly.

If Organizations could… facilitate collaboration more effectively… make their resources easily available… share and build on resources already developed… align resources to professional development and curricular scope/sequence…...they would improve overall teaching and learning.
