Help an education nonprofit with a copyright matter for a very popular teacher resource

We want to continue to provide a digital resource that has proven to be very popular for educators, especially as they navigate change management related to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis.

Posted January 11, 2021

Background & Context

One of the most popular resources on our website is a tool that supports education leaders on change management within their schools and districts. We received correspondence from someone who claims to have the copyright to this material, even though it is published in several places as part of the public domain. We need help vetting the related information and making a choice about if/how we can continue to offer this tool to educators who need it.

Work & Deliverables

We need a volunteer to review the resource in question, correspondence with the person who claims to have the copyright, an Amazon Web Services takedown notice, and related information. Next steps could involve correspondence on our behalf and advice on if/how we can adapt the material for our website.
