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.
