With an increasing global demand for entrepreneurship education,
and the need to prepare students for the challenges of an
ever-changing world of work, Colin Jones tackles the difficult
question: just where do these educators come from to meet this
demand? How to Become an Entrepreneurship Educator is the first
book to tackle how we create expert entrepreneurship educators at
all levels of education. Using activity theory as a lens, the book
unites the developmental trajectories of 20 eminent contemporary
experts at different levels of enterprise and entrepreneurship
education. Jones identifies these journeys in order to share the
collective lessons learned. By highlighting a range of global
insights, readers are enabled to reflect on their own strategies,
creating order in the domain of enterprise and entrepreneurship
education - an order that holds the power to propel the domain of
enterprise and entrepreneurship education onwards to new heights.
Such highly reflective accounts of how to teach entrepreneurship
will be an invaluable guide to educators from numerous backgrounds
to contemplate new strategies for teaching enterprise and
entrepreneurship in the context of their own choosing.

There is a dire need for a comprehensive pedagogical resource both
on diverse approaches to teaching sports economics and the use of
sports to teach broader principles of economic concepts. This book
does exactly that. The contributions from leading scholars and
teachers in both fields will help all instructors looking to raise
their teaching game. The pedagogy in this book covers a wide array
of active and engaged teaching techniques to demonstrate
interesting ways to engage students and to get them excited about
sports economics and economic concepts in general. Chapters cover
topics such as legal case studies that impact North American
leagues, discrimination and gender bias in sports economics and
best practices for supervising undergraduate student research. The
innovative approaches and methods presented are applicable to both
small and large class sizes. Practical advice for designing field
trip-, guest speaker-, and case-study-based classes, and techniques
for using data-driven exercises, film and straightforward classroom
experiments are included. This book will appeal to two primary
audiences: undergraduate economics instructors and sports
economics/management instructors. The teaching methods may be

material provides instructors with assistance in creating course
syllabi, outlining teaching plans, generating student interest, and

business education. Instructors in a variety of business
disciplines use role-plays to facilitate student engagement and

classes. Professors Bolinger and Stanton have taught role-plays in
the classroom and online for over 30 years combined. In Role-Play
Simulations the authors describe the history and theories
underlying the use and articulate the chief benefits of the method.
They explain when and why role-play simulations are useful in
business education classes and discuss a variety of considerations
for implementing them, from advance preparation to post-activity
debriefing. The book walks the reader through specific examples of
different length simulations and their resource requirements.

additional resources and examples of published role-play
simulations across a variety of business disciplines. Whether new
or experienced in using active learning methods and role-play
simulations in the business classroom, instructors will benefit

This Handbook features the best teaching practices in the Health
Economics (HE) field over the past decade. HE is still considered a
relatively new field in the world of economics. While most academic
programs leading to HE specializations are housed in economics
departments, many courses often reside elsewhere: in schools of
public health, health professions, health sciences, nursing,
pharmacy, business, or public/health administration. Teaching in
these diverse, specialized curricula requires a customized subset
of methods and materials developed for both the instructors and the
students. The editors have sought to expand applicability beyond
North America and Western Europe, and to address issues in both
less developed health economies and more advanced ones. The
chapters herein present new and innovative teaching methods.
Instructors with or without professional training in HE will
welcome the featured practical applications that encompass HE
courses taught in various economics and non-economics
undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs.
This comprehensive guide provides readers with strategies for
teaching Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in all its forms,
whether through formal university programmes or in the form of
short courses offered to professionals and practitioners. Featuring
contributions from 39 university teachers and short course
trainers, the centerpiece of the book is the suite of 37 recipes
for teaching different aspects of EIA. This internationally
relevant resource collectively embodies and applies the best
practice principles for teaching EIA, developed through a two-year
research project with input from a diverse group of international
experts. It provides practical and innovative learning activities
with complete instructions for successful delivery, and thus
represents a truly comprehensive and up-to-date contribution to the
field. This latest contribution to our Elgar Guides to Teaching
series serves as both a basis for reflection upon curricula and
teaching practices, and as a source of inspiration for learning
activities that can be adopted and adapted for different contexts
by EIA teachers and trainers. It will be a valuable resource to
help both new and seasoned EIA educators expand their toolbox in
order to teach EIA more effectively.
Classroom as Organization (CAO) is a powerful teaching methodology,
particularly well-suited for teaching business topics, that can
enliven students' learning experience while giving them the
opportunity to practice and develop workplace-related skills. This
book provides a comprehensive background to the CAO teaching
methodology, including its origins, evolution, and various
applications. From this basis, the considerations of how to teach
and design a CAO are explored. The book distills lessons learned
from the literature and the authors' practice into a comprehensive
design that can be easily implemented by educators new to this
methodology. Detailed templates from the authors' own practice
enable educators to turn their classroom into an organization,
empower the students to run that organization, and watch the
learning experience come alive. If you are not familiar with CAO,
this book provides a comprehensive resource. If you are familiar
with CAO, but have been afraid to try it, this book provides the
support to take the next step in your practice of experiential
teaching and learning. This book was written for experiential
educators as well as business or organizational behavior and
management professors looking for a creative way to engage students
while creating a deep and meaningful learning experience.
There are particular challenges involved in teaching social work.
