There are limited materials and programs that emphasize the Andes and Amazonia, leaving the region to be severely underrepresented within K-12 curricula. Materials in Indigenous languages and on Indigenous cultures are even more scarce, leading to barriers of entry within the global information landscape. The K’acha Willaykuna Collaboration contributes to the production of K-12 materials on Andean and Amazonian Indigenous Arts and Humanities by working with students, faculty and visiting artists to render artist residency materials useful for K-12 audiences both in Ohio and in Andean and Amazonian communities.

Threshold Concepts and Transformational Learning by
Over the last decade the notion of 'threshold concepts' has proved influential around the world as a powerful means of exploring and discussing the key points of transformation that students experience in their higher education courses and the 'troublesome knowledge' that these often present. Threshold Concepts and Transformational Learning substantially increases the empirical evidence for threshold concepts across a large number of disciplinary contexts and from the higher education sectors of many countries. This new volume develops further theoretical perspectives and provides fresh pedagogical directions. It will be of interest to teachers, practitioners and managers in all disciplines as well as to educational researchers.
Habits of Mind Across the Curriculum by
Arthur L. Costa and Bena Kallick present this collection of stories by educators around the world who have successfully implemented the habits in their day-to-day teaching in K-12 classrooms. The collective wisdom and experience of these thoughtful practitioners provide readers with insight into the transdisciplinary nature of the 16 Habits of Mind--intelligent behaviors that lead to success in school and the larger world--as well as model lessons and suggestions for weaving the habits into daily instruction in language arts, music, physical education, social studies, math, foreign language, and other content areas.
Cultural Humility by
The authors of this book recommend that MHPs focus not on what they have learned in previous clinical or educational settings, but on what they don't know about the client who sits across from them. They discuss practical strategies for engaging with clients and their cultural identities, including repairing mistakes that threaten the therapeutic relationship. Through a wide range of case examples and hands-on exercises, the authors demonstrate how therapists can learn to acknowledge their limitations, and view them as opportunities to connect with clients at a deeper level.
