Rigorous. Accessible. Modular.
Resources Designed for Multilingual Classrooms
The Open-Source Modular ELA Curriculum (OMEC) is a shared instructional framework that provides stable, rigorous lessons teachers can rely on, adapt, and build upon—without starting from scratch.
Designed as a plug-and-play system for grades 9-12 ELA, OMEC reduces planning burden while maintaining instructional coherence, rigor, and accessibility for all learners, especially multilingual students.
Our core principle: Language fluency doesn't dictate cognitive ability. Multilingual Students engage with the same rigorous analytical thinking as their peers, supported by scaffolded language structures that make complex ideas accessible.

A Growing, Open Resource
OMEC is an evolving project committed to expanding access to high-quality instructional materials. New modules, grade bands, subjects, and language supports are continuously added to the collection.
The goal is simple: education improves when resources are shared, not siloed. By making rigorous, thoughtfully designed curriculum freely available, we aim to reduce barriers for teachers and students everywhere—supporting better instruction and deeper learning across classrooms and communities.
All materials are completely free to use, adapt, and share.
