One of our members is working on a piece like this to go with our CC release forms. When we have something ready I intend to post it on our site.
Two points that I think open content providers will want assurance on is their liability for mistakenly using copyrighted material and what rights they retain on their original work.

Susan, you make a good point. If an initiative like this is going to be useful, educators (particularly teachers who are somewhat disconnected with the online environment where these discussions are occuring) need to be educated. The language in this CC license makes it easier for educators to understand the license, but if they don’t know the license exists, then they won’t use it and they certainly won’t place their materials in a shared repository.

Will there be a place for people to share? I keep finding that certain things, such Understanding by Design forms or curriculum mapping or 6-trait writing forms are already online because districts post them for their staff. However, the amazing stuff that cutting-edge teachers make generally exists only on their own hard drives. That is the stuff we need to access, and those are the people needing CC protection.
