Contents from this workbook are applicable to pre-licensure baccalaureate nursing programs, RN-to-BSN programs, and graduate education. A strategic approach for this workbook was purposefully designed to meet the structure of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Clinical Judgment Measure Model® with a combined focus on the four spheres of care supported by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN®). Our goal with this workbook is to lead educators and students on a directed path of discovering how SDOH is an integral part of nursing practice and how nurses can implement effective interventions to positively impact the health outcomes of individuals, families, communities, and aggregates.15702024-01-14T05:52:59Z2024-01-14T05:52:59ZFoundations of Education<img alt="Read more about Foundations of Education" title="Foundations of Education cover image" class="cover " width="384" height="497" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTA2NjMsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--fa4b38afd958a6c53516e0b871c28775c378e4dd/nvdj9y2-front-shortedge-384.jpg" />This dynamic and equity-focused Open Educational Resource serves as a multifaceted textbook for Foundations of Education courses in post secondary institutions.15902024-03-03T21:16:26Z2024-03-03T21:16:28ZFostering Communities of Transformation in STEM Higher Education: A Multi-institutional Collection of DEI Initiatives<img alt="Read more about Fostering Communities of Transformation in STEM Higher Education: A Multi-institutional Collection of DEI Initiatives" title="Fostering Communities of Transformation in STEM Higher Education: A Multi-institutional Collection of DEI Initiatives cover image" class="cover " width="554" height="814" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTExNzQsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--96b13afba624a899a9daa30789b751ad05054322/fost.jpg" />Dive into the multifaceted landscape of inclusive excellence in STEM education with Fostering Communities of Transformation in STEM Higher Education.

A Guide to General Education developed out of many years of thinking about general education courses and curriculums. We, as university personnel, do not always succeed in explaining why we have certain requirements. Even though these courses make up a significant percentage of our college careers, there is not often time set aside to talk about general education and explore its purpose and goals. When we do not know the reason why we are doing something, it can sometimes lead to apathy and even resentment. Once we have an idea of the purpose, then we can start to appreciate and learn. It is worthwhile to spend some time thinking about these purposes, both “official” and personal ones, in order to maximize student learning. This textbook helps students systematically study how general education requirements are developed, their history, post-graduation value, etc. It emphasizes exploration of the significance of individual learning outcomes, especially through the lens of John Lewis’ philosophy of “good, necessary trouble.” For instructors adopting this book, it is designed to assign in its entirety or in parts as instructors can choose to emphasize relevant learning outcomes. It is also designed for use by advisors, especially with advisees who express concerns over taking certain requirements.16332024-03-20T00:00:00Z2024-03-20T14:18:54ZMaking Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education<img alt="Read more about Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education" title="Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education cover image" class="cover " width="538" height="710" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNzcsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--859684c466f2f12a82ed344c24af80e469fe98c5/Cover-PreK12.PNG" />Higher education and PreK12 are vastly different domains. As such, well-intended, collaborative efforts between higher education and PreK12 do not always result in creation of useful and reusable learning materials for PreK12 classrooms or effective, productive partnerships. Making Open Educational Resources with and for PreK12: A Collaboration Toolkit for Higher Education is a toolkit of instructional resources designed to support higher education personnel who wish to improve or build strong and generative collaborations between higher education and PreK12 educators. The toolkit aims to expand use and re-usability of PreK12-centric learning resources through informed practices regarding copyright, open-licensing, and accessibility and includes a variety of resources: videos, presentations, transcripts, activities, guides, assignments, and assessment tools.16322024-03-19T04:31:35Z2024-03-19T04:31:35ZNeuroscience, Psychology and Conflict Management<img alt="Read more about Neuroscience, Psychology and Conflict Management" title="Neuroscience, Psychology and Conflict Management cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="467" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNzAsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--204350df8ad1839a54599c9ddfdf1600c92d4b0e/NeuroscienceCover-350x467.png" />This peer reviewed eBook introduces readers to foundational concepts in neuroscience, cognitive psychology, personality psychology and social psychology to help explain why conflict occurs, how it develops and how it may be managed and/or resolved.16272024-03-17T02:56:51Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZUnlocking the Digital Age: The Musician's Guide to Research, Copyright, and Publishing<img alt="Read more about Unlocking the Digital Age: The Musician's Guide to Research, Copyright, and Publishing" title="Unlocking the Digital Age: The Musician's Guide to Research, Copyright, and Publishing cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="457" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzNDUsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--97e6c588041f4da065b04b29e5300c83d8c93894/OER_Cover_PDF-1-350x457.png" />Based on coursework developed at the Peabody Conservatory, this book serves as a crucial resource for early career musicians navigating the complexities of the digital era. This guide bridges the gap between creative practice and scholarly research, empowering musicians to confidently share and protect their work as they expand their performing lives beyond the concert stage as citizen artists. It offers a plain language resource that helps early career musicians see where creative practice and creative research intersect and how to traverse information systems to share their work. As professional musicians and researchers, the authors’ experiences on stage and in academia makes this guide an indispensable tool for musicians aiming to thrive in the digital landscape.16252024-03-17T02:29:08Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZStatistics Through an Equity Lens<img alt="Read more about Statistics Through an Equity Lens" title="Statistics Through an Equity Lens cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMzksInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--6fa5edfb6f4b03ea5cb23131acbda0189aa9f165/081622_RotelProject_Statistics2-002-350x453.jpg" />This Open Educational Resource (OER) carries a significant responsibility by presenting statistics through an equity lens. The metaphor of a lens is used intentionally–as the glasses one wears can have a profound effect on what one sees. The book encourages further inspection of the ways in which data is collected, interpreted, and analyzed on a variety of social justice issues, such as health disparities, hunger and food insecurity, homelessness, behavioral health (mental health and substance use), and incarceration of males of color. It also attempts to reveal how the misuse of data can reinforce inequities, for example, by stigmatizing people and labeling neighborhoods as high poverty, violent, and having poor educational opportunities. Whether an intended or unintended consequence, irresponsible data use can contribute to racist impressions of people and communities.16242024-03-17T02:16:21Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZSocial Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach<img alt="Read more about Social Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach" title="Social Work Practice and Disability Communities: An Intersectional Anti-Oppressive Approach cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="501" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMzYsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--4ec4eae574e52abd5210d6f05378ba512e8638d1/081622_RotelProject_Socialwork-Opt2-350x501.png" />Designed as a main textbook for social work courses at the bachelor’s and master’s level or for social work practitioners in the field, this work moves beyond a traditional medicalized and segregated approach (i.e., chapters organized around impairments) to the exploration of disability-specific populations, instead taking a more intersectional approach in discussing specific service areas and practice issues while weaving in stories about the lived experiences of disabled people with a range of social identities. These issues include parenting, mass incarceration, ableism, aging, and employment, among many others. A key goal of this book is to introduce an intersectionality-informed and critically culturally competent approach to anti-oppressive social work practice with disabled people, primarily in the United States. To do this, we present an innovative practice model for social workers to use in their work with disabled people and communities, which is incorporated throughout the book in a variety of practice considerations. The main themes woven throughout our practice model are intersectionality theory, critical cultural competence, and anti-oppressive practice.16192024-03-17T00:05:48Z2024-03-18T16:57:08ZShared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology<img alt="Read more about Shared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology" title="Shared Voices: An Introduction to Cultural Anthropology cover image" class="cover " width="350" height="453" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6MTEzMjEsInB1ciI6ImJsb2JfaWQifX0=--70366f075447a864a3cf1568db1060173c47e133/081622_RotelProject_Cultural-Anthropology-Demetrios-Brellas-350x453.jpg" />Shared Voices is a student-centered cultural anthropology mini textbook built with an equity lens. We are excited to share this with you all. This book attempts to address the lack of current, reliable, and relevant resources for introductory anthropology courses that center equity and anti-racism. We set out to create a culturally responsive and inclusive textbook with an anti-racist and global citizenry perspective. We center marginalized voices, stories, and community. This text is a starting point for any introductory anthropology course recognizing that cultural change is constant and the familiar is cousin to the weird and unusual. A work in progress, this text aims to provide students an opportunity to build content as they explore the topics within.
