Engaged Teaching: A Handbook for College Faculty
Teaching today can be tough, but when done effectively, it can also be a deeply rewarding profession. To become an effective teacher is to begin by being an engaged teacher—intellectually, emotionally, and conatively grappling with the art and craft of teaching. Engaged A Handbook for College Faculty provides college faculty with a dynamic model of what it means to be an engaged teacher along with practical strategies and techniques for putting the model into practice. It simultaneously offers a comprehensive but concise survey of theory, research, and practical strategies necessary for improving teaching and learning in higher education. In particular, this text provides instructors with a deeper understanding of the foundations of college teaching, course design, the classroom learning environment, instructional methods, and teaching improvement.Praise for Engaged Teaching:"...Whether you are an educational developer looking for one book to share with your teaching staff, or a university teacher wanting to choose one book to help improve your teaching, this is the book you’ve been searching for. It’s a book I’ve been searching for for years."Robert Gray

"Higher education is teeming with new ideas about effective teaching and learning. What’s sometimes missing, however, is a framework, an integrative vision, that pulls together the many promising insights and innovations from the last few decades. That is the gift that Barkley and Major give us in their latest volume. Designed to work in tandem with the K. Patricia Cross Academy, Engaged Teaching combines thoughtful summaries of relevant research along with descriptions of promising practices that educators can use right now—and build on. The volume concludes with a call for reflective practice and pedagogical inquiry in pursuit of ongoing improvement—for individual educators, the profession of teaching, and our students' learning."
