Higher Teaching: A Handbook for New Post-Secondary Facultyvolume 29Paperback, 1 June 2021

Higher Teaching is divided into two sections: Practice, which addresses what to teach when you get your first course outline, how to choose strategies and plan lessons, and how to manage your classroom so it is a safe and positive place in which students learn. There are chapters on instructional media, teaching online assessment and evaluation, dealing with difficult students and academic integrity issues, and how to improve your teaching. The second part Theory and Background, focuses on the theories that inform current higher education teaching and curriculum, adult education, and a very useful chapter of advice extracted from experienced teachers responding to the question, What's the advice you would give to a brand new teacher? Also useful to a new teacher are the glossary of academic jargon and a lesson plan template.
