The WRIST project team is partnered with OSTEM to help in teacher recruitment as well as act as a curricular liaison between Omaha Public Schools (OPS) and the WRIST project to ensure that the project’s instructional modules and course materials will align well with OPS instructional needs and national, state, and local curriculum standards, as approved by the OPS administration. Mr. Jim Harrington and Mr. Chris Schaben, senior curriculum supervisors at OPS, have been designated by the OPS district’s superintendent as key liaisons to work closely with OSTEM and the WRIST project team. |
