eBooks
Ecopedagogies by
Ecopedagogies showcases a range of creative approaches that educators across multiple disciplines use to empower students to access and engage with nature, an increasingly important consideration in a post-COVID world in environmental crisis. The volume includes chapters written by scholars from the environmental arts and humanities, literature, writing studies, rhetoric, music, religious studies, environmental studies and sustainability, sociology and anthropology, physical education, and outdoor education. Each author walks the reader through the details of how their ecopedagogy works, identifies potential challenges while also detailing how to address them, and explains the rewards to students, instructors, and more-than-human nature that they have witnessed through the use of these approaches. The contributions represent diverse types of academic institutions, offering broad applicability to instructors, including community colleges, private liberal arts colleges, and large state, regional, public, and private universities. The book explores a series of key questions about how educators can facilitate meaningful learning experiences with the natural world, inside and outside the classroom, and it looks at how to foster inclusivity, navigate problems with access, and explore intersections with environmental justice. As a practical guide, the book delivers a well-provisioned toolbox containing exercises, activity guides, and assignments for those teaching environmentally focused college courses.

Diverse Pedagogical Approaches to Experiential Learning by
This edited collection offers a unique multidisciplinary perspective into the many factors that go into designing, facilitating, expanding, and assessing experiential learning (EL) from the perspective of faculty and staff educators. The editor and contributors bring decades of expertise with different forms of EL, including community-engaged learning, education abroad, internships, and more. Chapters offer case studies and reflections which highlight personal experiences and anecdotes which illuminate the realities of experiential teaching and learning. Through these stories and narratives, readers may better understand what doing EL entails on an everyday basis--both on a local and global scale--and learn how to enhance support and resources for experiential educators on college and university campuses.

Articles
- Taylor, Corinne (2022), "Quantitative Reasoning and Sustainability" Numeracy, Vol 5 (1).Quantitative Reasoning and Sustainability have much in common. Both are complex, nuanced concepts with rather long definitions that have evolved over time. Both subjects are “everybody’s business” on college campuses, and must be approached in courses across the curriculum, not merely in one course on QR or in one course on Sustainability. The growing, wider presence of both QR and Sustainability on college campuses is due to their applicability in individuals’ personal, professional, and public lives. Moreover, QR and Sustainability support and enhance each other in and out of the classroom. Sustainability is an important, authentic, relevant context for lessons in QR, and, at the same time, QR skills are needed to help with benchmarks in sustainability and analyses in examining sustainable options. Please join the efforts of the National Numeracy Network and the Association of American Colleges and Universities, among others, in linking these concepts and enhancing students' learning opportunities in these areas.
- "Transformative Experience: An Integrative Construct in the Spirit of Deweyan Pragmatism," Kevin Pugh (2011)This article explores another mode of engaging experiential learning--the transformative experience. Per Pugh, transformative experinces "occur when students actively use curricular concepts in everyday life to see and experience the world in a new, meaningful way." This article explains transformative experience and overviews a 3-part structure for designing assignments and assessments.
