The Center for Learning, Innovation, and Collaboration at the University of Wisconsin-Superior is excited to announce the publication of three new, open textbooks: 

 

by Lynn Goerdt 

 

Lynn Goerdt's Open Educational Resource provides knowledge and skills for professionals actively engaged in change making as a necessary way to fulfil their mission. This includes, but is not limited to, social workers, educators, policy makers, health professionals, and environmental scientists. This textbook is the result of Goerdt's extensive experience both working and teaching in the field of macro community and organizational change. 

 

by J. Richard Freese 

 

People and Music: An Appreciation and History serves as an introduction to the history of Western music from the Middle Ages through today: trends, innovations, people, and worthwhile music examples. It also includes samples of music from around the world and popular music and discusses how they have impacted Western music. While it would be beyond the scope of this text to include every outstanding composer and music example throughout history, the author hopes students are inspired to further explore eras, styles, and musicians they find particularly interesting. 

 

by Amanda Zbacnik & Staci Gilpin 

 

In a society that is increasingly, beautifully diverse, educators need to ensure that data being collected about student(s) keeps the students’ perspectives and needs at the forefront of behavioral interventions. Zbacnik and Gilpin’s Open Educational Resource strategically guides readers through each step in the functional behavioral assessment and interventions process and continues to center and consider how student identity impacts educational journey. 

 

All three books are also available as PDFs and ePub files. 

 

Happy reading!
