Energize your classrooms with these key techniques for college
teaching
Students say the best teachers get them excited about learning, stretch
their thinking, and keep them actively involved in class. But with
increasingly diverse classrooms and constantly changing technology, each
semester throws up new challenges for engaging students.
Discover how to keep your teaching, and your students, energized with
The Skillful Teacher, a practical guide to effective techniques,
approaches, and methods for today's college classrooms. Providing
insights, reflections, and advice from his four decades of college
teaching, Stephen Brookfield now adapts his successful methods to
teaching online, working with diverse student populations, and making
classrooms truly inclusive. As well as being completely revised,
updated, and rewritten, this edition adds six brand new chapters on:
- Teaching critical thinking
- Using play and creativity in the classroom
- Teaching in teams
- Helping students take responsibility for learning
- Teaching about racism
- Exercising teacher power responsibly
Readers will delve into what learning feels like from a student's
perspective, as well as absorb the wisdom of veteran college faculty
with whom the author has worked. Themes from the bestselling previous
editions remain, but are revisited and expanded with the perspective of
an additional decade in the classroom. This authoritative guide is now
even more comprehensive to better serve teachers looking to improve.
Whether you are new to the classroom or are looking to rise to new
challenges, The Skillful Teacher will provide answers, expand your
repertoire of techniques, and invigorate your teaching and your
classrooms.
