Item Student Success Series(Passaic County Community College, 2016) Smart SparrowThe Student Success Series contains exploratory, skills-based, adaptive lessons that provide support to students in basic academic skills. The series can be used in its entirety, or individual lessons may be provided to students as a means of remediation for specific issues. In all lessons, students are presented with new methods and skills, and then asked to practice these elements before ultimately deciding what approaches work best for them.Item Psychological Trauma Support Series(LaGuardia Community College, 2017) Smart SparrowDeveloped in partnership with a team of professionals at LaGuardia Community College, this two part series of lesson outlines best practices in supporting those who have experienced a psychologically traumatic event. The lessons are expected to be used during emergency response training, and by those already in related fields.Item Dot Resiliency Series(Passaic County Community College, 2016) Smart SparrowThe Dot Resiliency Series is a collection of adaptive learning experiences that target ten components contributing to improved resiliency: Active Listening, Flexibility, Planning, Prior Knowledge, Problem Solving, Logic, Reflection, Conflict Resolution, Self Efficacy, and Strengths and Weaknesses. These lessons are linked to a game that serves as an thinking pattern assessment, and are tied together with a light-hearted, personal narrative. These lessons were designed for flexibility of use, so that an instructor may deploy some or all of the series to students as he/she sees fit. Smart Sparrow has provided support and ideas around how to integrate the series into the classroom on the connected website.Item Psychological Trauma in EMS Patients (PTEP) Course(LaGuardia Community College, 2016)Psychological Trauma in EMS Patients (PTEP) course gives EMS practitioners the resources they need to help alleviate patients’ hidden wounds – intense fear, stress, and pain – during a medical emergency. PTEP educates EMS practitioners about the biological underpinnings of psychological trauma, the short and long-term impact on the brain and body, and warning signs that a patient is experiencing extreme psychological distress. EMS practitioners are also taught strategies and techniques to alleviate patients’ distress and help patients cope with what they’re experiencing to ward off lingering effects. This 8-hour, 1-day course features scenario-based interactive sessions and lectures. PTEP is designed for EMS practitioners of all levels and will improve the level of customer service provided to their patients. This course builds on the Psychological Trauma Prevention Training curriculum also created by LaGuardia Community College through the work of the Northeast Resiliency Consortium available on Skills Commons.

This collection includes: (1) sample syllabus; (2) formula reference guide; (3) final project; (4) final exam; (4) MORE lessons: 9 in total; and (5) Math Type files for all the items listed here to meet ADA compliance. The purpose of the MORE lessons is to teach students how mathematics is used to execute basic kitchen and restaurant operations. These lessons focus on mathematics application in a specific field. Therefore, the lessons are imbedded in a culinary arts course and they only touch on (a) the mathematical operations most frequently used in the kitchen (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, percents, fractions, decimals, and rounding) and (b) how those mathematical operations are applied in different ways to solve a variety of common kitchen or restaurant problems (i.e. scaling a recipe, ordering product, menu pricing, etc.). The lessons are not designed to replace a mathematics course; instead, they complement the instruction students have already received in their traditional mathematics courses. This course introduces core culinary procedures, including reading and converting recipes, measuring and substituting ingredients, and shifting from small-scale to large-scale recipe production. Through applied recipe testing, the course will review how these foundational skills influence both the finished product and more complex restaurant operations, including menu development, purchasing, and cost control. MORE lessons topics include: (1) introduction; (2) math basics; (3) unit conversion; (4) volume/weight conversion; (5) recipe size conversion; (6) ap, ep, and yield percent; (7) unit cost; (8) as-purchased cost and edible portion cost; and (9) recipe costing. About Math type: In order for the users to hear the formulas read correctly directly in Word, they will need to have installed: 1. Math Type http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/ 2. MathPlayer http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathplayer/download.htm?src=mplogo?src=mplogo 3. NVDA Note: If you intend to use MathPlayer with Microsoft Word or PowerPoint 2010 or later, please be aware that MathPlayer will only work with the 32-bit versions of these products. If you're using 64-bit Windows, you may still be (and probably are) running 32-bit MS Office. To verify, open Word or PowerPoint, and in the File tab, click Account. On the right, click About Word (or PowerPoint). Near the top, it will list the complete version number, including bit-level. The Mathtype files published as web pages are available in this collection.
