Welcome to the Brooks/Cole Curriculum Connector. This unique Web site is designed to assist you in accessing Brooks/Cole's online resources through a variety of paths. These resources which support our selected texts, include glossaries, flash cards, Web links, quizzes and exams, InfoTrac College Edition research exercises, and videos.

From this initial page you can directly access a number of our resources in just one click. To access any area, move your mouse over the 3 major categories (Social Work Curriculum Areas, System Sizes, and Fields of Practice) and follow the navigational pointers to the relevant resources. From this homepage you could follow the navigational triangular icons down to a quiz, video, or other resource.

For example, to gain access to quizzes for Human Behavior in the Social Environment that are relevant to values and ethics, one possible path would be to navigate the site in this way:

SOCIAL WORK CURRICULUM AREAS > Human Behavior and the Social Environment > Values and Ethics > Quizzing > Zastrow 0534608221 (Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare - Empowering People)

We have organized the site the way we feel social work educators organize their teaching materials: by curriculum area, by system size addressed in the material, and by fields of practice to which the material is relevant. To take a more in-depth look at how we structured the site, please go to the FAQ situated on the left navigation menu.
