This book provides real examples of how professors at the University of Washington integrated these critical issues into their teachings, both in targeted lessons and as throughlines across an entire course. These samples of how environmental and climate justice have been successfully integrated into higher-level education can serve as both a record of the UW's progress towards centering JEDI at the heart of all students, and as a model for future instructors to use as they work to incorporate more aspects of justice and engagement into their own material.14172023-05-02T17:46:27Z2023-08-31T14:10:29ZSupporting Secondary Teachers’ Critical Disciplinary Literacies<img alt="Read more about Supporting Secondary Teachers’ Critical Disciplinary Literacies" title="Supporting Secondary Teachers’ Critical Disciplinary Literacies cover image" class="cover " width="768" height="994" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjU0NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--dfcc76d72a0bd3f6c59f0db349eefdf0134f5596/criticaldisciplinaryliteracies-cover-768x994.png" />Co-created with students in the course EDUC 395: Teaching Disciplinary Literacy and supported by CDL experts, this textbook offers accessible, research-based, multidisciplinary CDL strategies ready for implementation in secondary classrooms.14002023-04-24T13:59:44Z2023-08-31T14:12:56ZFoundations of Biomedical Science: Quantitative Literacy: Theory and Problems<img alt="Read more about Foundations of Biomedical Science: Quantitative Literacy: Theory and Problems" title="Foundations of Biomedical Science: Quantitative Literacy: Theory and Problems cover image" class="cover " width="724" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NjAyNSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--0d177e5a0940ae52a980fc4e6295862e8880bf6c/FoundationsOfBiomedicalScience_Cover_v2-724x1024.jpg" />Foundations of Biomedical Science: Quantitative Literacy Theory and Problems is designed to help students develop the fundamental mathematical and quantitative literacy required to navigate and interpret evidence-based Biomedical data.

Each contributor reflects on their own writing as well as writing in their fields/disciplines. Namely, they reflect on their writing processes, hence the name of the book. The FSC Writing in the Disciplines committee curated excerpts of published or unpublished work from faculty, students, and administrators across departments and offices. The result is Processes: Writing Across Academic Careers, a collection of writing samples and reflections on the processes that made those pieces of writing possible. This book shows that, while writing looks and functions differently in different disciplines, college communities center on writing. From the college president to the faculty to the students, each member of the community grapples with writing, even in disciplines not considered to be writing-intensive. The text features compositions from nursing, STEM and health sciences, education, and history and culture. The examples span from reflections on the role of writing in one’s academic career, examples of professional writing in the sciences, research papers, conference proposals, to laboratory reports. The examples of published or works-in-progress are accompanied by thoughtful reflections on how the author crafted their work. The collection presents an opportunity for scholars to acknowledge the centrality of writing in their everyday work. Students learning how to write in college and about writing conventions in their specific disciplines will gain an overview of writing they will encounter in their academic career and an appreciation for the multitudes of ways writers work. Perfect for introductory writing courses, and useful modularly for any class that touches on writing or information literacy, this text is a unique, honest, and practical resource for any undergraduate.13862023-04-03T14:18:46Z2024-03-12T17:24:52ZConversaciones Corrientes: Temas de Cultura y Sociedad<img alt="Read more about Conversaciones Corrientes: Temas de Cultura y Sociedad" title="Conversaciones Corrientes: Temas de Cultura y Sociedad cover image" class="cover " width="709" height="1024" data-controller="common--cover" data-placeholder="/assets/common/placeholder-0e0607cbc50663ddb9e8fd188058bcd2630c730ef6ee322801278607b7d5af8e.png" src="/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsiZGF0YSI6NDY2NSwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--d9821eddab36df03c6ea4bc4170ba40995e0844f/Conversaciones-Corrientes-Cover-900x1300-1-709x1024.png" />This book is designed to facilitate conversation in Spanish among intermediate and post-intermediate learners of Spanish.
