Reading corner:

What the Best College Teachers Do

In stories both humorous and touching, Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students’ discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. This book provides insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.

Making It Stick: the Science of Successful Learning

This book turns fashionable ideas like these on their head. Drawing on recent discoveries in cognitive psychology and other disciplines, the authors offer concrete techniques for becoming learners that are more productive.

How Learning Works: Seven Research-based Principles for Smart Teaching

Drawing upon new research in psychology, education, and cognitive science, the authors have demystified a complex topic into clear explanations of seven powerful learning principles. Full of great ideas and practical suggestions, all based on solid research evidence, this book is essential reading for instructors at all levels who wish to improve their students’ learning.

Why Don’t Students Like School?

This book will help you improve your teaching practice by explaining how you and your students think and learn. It reveals the importance of story, emotion, memory, context, and routine in building knowledge and creating lasting learning experiences.

Teach Students how to Learn

This book pays particular attention to academically unprepared students, noting that the strategies offered for this particular population are equally beneficial for all students. While stressing that there are many ways to teach effectively, and teachers can be flexible in picking & choosing the strategies she presents, McGuire offers the reader a step-by-step process for delivering the key messages of the book to students in as little as 50 minutes.

For White Folks who Teach in the Hood

Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin determines that the urban youth benefit from truly transformative education.

Discussion in the College Classroom

Thoroughly grounded in the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book gives you concrete guidance on integrating discussion into your courses.

Minds Online

This book explores how attention, memory, and higher thought processes such as critical thinking and analytical reasoning benefit from technology-aided approaches. The techniques she describes promote retention of course material through frequent low‐stakes testing and practice, and help prevent counterproductive cramming by encouraging better spacing of study.

Distracted: Why students can’t focus…

Lang rethinks the practice of teaching, revealing how educators can structure their classrooms less as distraction-free zones and more as environments where they can actively cultivate their students’ attention.

Brimming with ideas and grounded in new research, Distracted offers an innovative plan for the most important lesson of all: how to learn.

Small Teaching online

This book outlines practical and feasible applications of theoretical principles to help your online students learn. It includes current best practices around educational technologies, strategies to build community and collaboration, as well as minor changes you can make in your online teaching practice, small but impactful adjustments that result in significant learning gains.
