Acknowledgments
Albert H. White, Jr.
I am deeply indebted to Kirk Snyder, and Dr. Jill Ordynans for their incredible support, knowledge and guidance throughout the construction of this adapted OER.
Mr. Snyder, Open Educational Resource and Instruction Librarian par excellence, was crucial, using his expertise in the detailed building, construction and formatting of this large textbook crafted with Touro University and, the New York State Department of Education specifically in mind.
Dr. Ordynans, Chair, Education Department, and Associate Professor, Education (along with esteemed faculty members of the Touro College New York School of Applied Studies, past and present, including Dr. Gail Bell-Baptiste, Dr. Leah Richardson, Dr. Barry Katz, Dr. William Cook, Dr. Patricia Baia-Newell, Prof. Michael Feldman, Dr. Mark Balto and many more!), who provided wonderfully supportive and encouraging messages and commentary on content that helped keep my adaptation afloat and on course.
