Drawing from the millennia-old science of yoga and meditation\, the workshop introduces two tools\, one breathing method and one meditation\, that enhance wellbeing\, inclusiveness\, and balance. The pedagogy involves a paradigm shift from cognitive learning of teaching tactics to experiential learning of a foundational shift in faculty’s inner teaching experiences and transformative relations with students. With regular and consistent practice\, these tools enable faculty to consciously respond to challenging situations while teaching and enhance their wellbeing and inclusion of others in the classroom and beyond. Participants are invited to participate in an IRB-approved workshop evaluation study that assesses the feasibility and effectiveness of these practices on the inclusion of others\, equanimity\, and wellbeing.

One way textbook costs can be minimized is through the adoption of freely-available Open Educational Resources (OERs). The Rutgers Libraries Open and Affordable Textbook program (OAT) awards research funds to Rutgers faculty who make their courses more affordable for students by using open educational resources (OER)\, library content\, or other types of low-cost materials. This program will provide an overview of the growth of OERs\, and the ways in which the Rutgers Libraries’ OAT program enhances inclusivity and equity for students in the crucial area of coursework materials.This workshop will be facilitated by University Libraries as part of University Equity and Inclusion’s Classroom Inclusivity Series (Fulfills Competency 3). \nREGISTER \n  URL:https://teaching.rutgers.edu/event/open-educational-resources-essential-tools-of-inclusivity-and-equity/ CATEGORIES:Workshop END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
