Summary

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, and exercising teacher power responsibly.

Really delivered full of fascinating stuff

Really enjoyed the suggestions and viewpoints and learnt lots.
Minor quibble: I would wonder about the suggestion about using social media in class as there are downsides, but would definitely use text based forums for introverts like private groups and word clouds etc.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
