Here is a compelling read for every teacher in higher education who
wants to refresh or reexamine his or her classroom practice.
Building on the insights offered by recent discoveries about the
biological basis of learning, and on his own thought-provoking
definitions of teaching, learning and education, the author
proceeds to the practical details of instruction that teachers are
most interested in--the things that make or break teaching.
Practical and thoughtful, and based on forty years of teaching,
wide reading and much reflection, Robert Leamnson provides teachers
with a map to develop their own teaching philosophy, and effective
nuts-and-bolts advice. His approach is particularly useful for
those facing a cohort of first year students less prepared for
college and university. He is concerned to develop in his students
habits and skills that will equip them for a lifetime of learning.
He is especially alert to the psychology of students. He also
understands, and has experienced, the typical frustration and
exasperation teachers feel when students ingeniously elude their
teachers' loftiest goals and strategies. Most important, he has
good advice about how to cope with the challenge. This guide will
appeal to college teachers in all disciplines.
