Educator preparation programs play an important role in preparing early educators (EEs) to work with young children (PPNTF, 2020). However, EEs often experience suppressed salaries making preparatory programs financially burdensome (NASEM, 2018). It is incumbent upon institutions of higher education to embrace practices that alleviate financial barriers experienced by EEs seeking critical knowledge regarding practices that support learners throughout their formative years (NASEM, 2018). Open Education Resources (OER) is emerging as an effective equity practice that positively impacts students' perceptions, performances, and perseverance while also alleviating some of the financial burdens associated with higher education. This article explains a cross-institutional collaboration to create a high-quality OER to enhance EEs' professional knowledge in language and literacy practices for young children, birth to age five. This initiative reflects standards articulated by the Association of Teacher Education, specifically in the areas of collaboration, cultural competency, scholarship, contribution, and vision (ATE, n.d.).
