Users of Every Learner Everywhere\u00ae\u2019s comprehensive resource library can access a new \u201cquick collection\u201d of student-centered learning resources.<\/p>\n

The Student Care Resource collection<\/a> includes (so far) 12 PDFs and videos with practical advice to college instructors on accounting for the health, experiences, perspectives, needs, and strengths of students. Like everything in the Every Learner Everywhere\u00ae resource library, the collection is concerned with ensuring that digital learning in a variety of modalities is data informed and centers equity for Black, Latino, Indigenous, poverty-affected, and first-generation students. Most of the resources were developed by Every Learner\u2019s network partners<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, says Patricia O\u2019Sullivan, Content Manager for Every Learner Everywhere\u00ae, many of the resources prominently feature student voices. \u201cThe network partners creating these resources all began from different starting points, but a common approach was to communicate to faculty and administrators the stressors, barriers, and strengths that students have. The collection as a whole merges those student voices with research on digital learning and equity and the analysis and experience of equity-focused educators, and provides a comprehensive understanding of the potential of student-centered learning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Highlights from the collection<\/h2>\n

O\u2019Sullivan points to one of the most recent resources \u2014 Caring for the Whole Student<\/a><\/em> \u2014 as a summary of the student-centered perspective of all the previous work from the network. \u201cThat ties everything together and reflects what we learned from working with and listening to students the last few years in fellowship programs, student-led projects, and student panels at conferences,\u201d she says<\/p>\n

Another resource \u2014 the Caring for Students Playbook<\/a><\/em> \u2014 is useful for classroom educators trying to take a broader institutional view of the student experience. \u201cWhen you look at learning data, you\u2019ll think about classroom or online teaching practices one way, but when you ask students about the barriers they face, they are anxious about a lot of issues from outside the classroom,\u201d says O\u2019Sullivan. \u201cStudent-centered faculty will think about how those affect the classroom and how they can collaborate with student affairs colleagues and others.\u201d<\/p>\n
