Abstract:
This library of CK-12’s interactive FlexBooks was developed by the Outreach and Technical Assistance Network specifically to support adult educators and learners. The library includes FlexBooks for Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education, English as a Second Language, High School Equivalency, and Career and Technical Education courses. All textbooks are interactive and include instruction, interactive media (including videos), and knowledge checks.
This library of open-source textbooks can be beneficial to support on-ramp, bridge, or integrated education and training programming, and it can be used for Adult Basic Education, Adult Secondary Education, English as a Second Language, High School Equivalency, and Career and Technical Education courses. All textbooks are interactive and include instruction, interactive media (including videos), and knowledge checks. Three of the textbooks are relevant to health science careers, including a detailed course for home health aides. Given that these resources were developed on the CK-12 platform, they are designed to be easily reused with licensing that allows instructors to adapt and remix the content to be used in different contexts.

Abstract:
This toolkit provides communication techniques for facilitating a healthy living program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).
The purpose of this toolkit is to familiarize users with intellectual and developmental disabilities and communication techniques to assist in successfully facilitating a healthy living program for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD). This resource defines and breaks down the term "I/DD", explains the implications of the diagnosis, and offers concrete strategies on communicating with individuals diagnosed with I/DD, as well as best practices for supporting their success in making choices and completing tasks. The techniques presented are particularly helpful for those who have little experience working with individuals who have I/DD. Tips for dealing with challenging behaviors are included as well as links to additional free resources and the underlying research that informs this document.
What the experts say
There are a variety of reasons why adult educators will find Achieving Healthier Futures One Step at a Time useful. It is quick and easy to read; has interesting video links to support the text; has colorful pictures of the student population of persons with disabilities; and includes videos, graphics, and charts that support the topic. The authors highlight the importance of person-first language and the use of verbal and non-verbal communication strategies to help improve learners' understanding of and response to directions. Prompting hierarchies are introduced to provide scaffolding that aids communication when these learners struggle with directions. Also included are considerations for managing challenging behaviors. Taken as a whole, this resource provides an overview of ways to develop communication skills and routines when working with learners with ID/DD and ASD.

Abstract:
This resource provides a comprehensive set of integrated learning outcomes (a single set of learning objectives, or SSLO) for a variety of career pathways, including those for home health aides, certified nursing assistants, logistics and transportation specialists, and building tradespeople and construction design technologists. Some SSLOs are designed specifically for English for Speakers of Other Languages and General Education Development.
This resource can be used to help create SSLO for a variety of career pathway integrated education and training programs. It offers the objectives, relative skill-development pieces and standards, and curricular ideas for implementation. Educators at different programs throughout Florida developed each SSLO, meaning the examples demonstrate effective SSLOs within a range of contexts.
