Preparing Inclusive Educators: Open Educational Resources E-Book
BranchED sponsored this course textbook for use alongside modules developed by our core community members. The goal of the text and corresponding modules was to increase access to education resources while also growing the creation of knowledge inclusive instruction by and for MSI communities.
BranchED seeks to support individual educator preparation programs (EPPs) and the field at large in reimagining and redefining “quality” preparation programs such that attention to issues of diversity and equity are explicit, embedded, and inextricably linked to high-quality performance.
The Resource Portal was created to support our community by providing resources such as instructional materials, online modules, podcasts, practice-based learning opportunities, research briefs, teaching video library, tool/toolkit, and webinars.
