Introduction

Welcome

This digital text OER has been developed with Universal Design for Learning (UDL) elements in mind. The authors have purposefully used inclusive language such as they and them for singular pronouns in place of gendered pronouns. The cultural chapter components have been reviewed by members of the cultural communities addressed in the chapter while also recognizing that one or two reviewers do not represent entire cultures. We welcome your review and feedback and encourage you to reach out to the authors with any concerns, suggestions for modifications, and ideas for enhancements.
