In this book on using cooperative learning to achieve the SDGs, we, the authors,
try to be inclusive in several ways. First, we try to write without jargon, in
reasonably simple terms, using many examples to explain the ideas we are
sharing. By the way, many of the concepts and ideas in this book have been
inspired by a wide variety of sources and authors. We share these ideas with you
and hope you will share them with many others.
Another way we try to be inclusive with this book is by making the book available
for free online. Many books can be expensive, and the costs go even higher with
shipping fees. Free online books can be obtained by anyone with access to the
internet and shared readily. However, we do realize that too many of us, eight
billion humans, do not have easy Wi-Fi access or do not speak English, the
language of this book. We need to improve.
One more way that we hope to make this book inclusive is by having examples of
all the 17 SDGs, and examples that work for many different students and teachers,
regardless of age and other background factors, including where people live. Of
course, we cannot provide examples that work for everyone. This is where we
need your help. We need you, and those with whom you learn and strive, to
develop more examples. Thank you.
