RestedTeacher.com lessons pair our own original artwork with openly licensed diagrams, photos, and interactive simulations. This page credits the openly licensed material that can appear in lessons.
Most diagrams are original artwork created in house by Keypair Software LLC, and some images come from public domain or CC0 sources. Neither requires a credit, so they are not listed here.
PhET Interactive Simulations
Interactive simulations by PhET Interactive Simulations, University of Colorado Boulder, licensed CC BY-NC 4.0 (NonCommercial). Because that license does not permit embedding inside a paid product, each simulation links out to phet.colorado.edu in a new tab rather than playing inside a lesson. Each simulation is also credited on the slide where it appears.

Academic standards
Every lesson is built against the standards a teacher picks for their state and course. The standards themselves are written and published by others, not by us. Each one is shown with the code and wording of the framework that published it, so a teacher can check a lesson against the source. The lesson around a standard is our own work.
Common Core State Standards
Where a state has adopted the Common Core State Standards, the standards shown in the app come from that framework, published by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices and the Council of Chief State School Officers. Their public license asks that every publication or public display carry this notice, which is why you also see it at the bottom of every page and inside every handout and export.

Other standards frameworks
Academic standards are published by the relevant state department of education or standards organization. A state framework is published by that state's department of education. The Next Generation Science Standards are published by their own authors. Advanced Placement course frameworks are published by the College Board, and for those courses the app stores only the neutral unit and topic structure rather than the wording of the course description. Each publisher holds the rights in its own text, and naming a publisher here is a credit rather than a claim of any relationship with them.
