Keeping Us Engaged (eBook, PDF)

Student Perspectives (and Research-Based Strategies) on What Works and Why

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This revised edition of Keeping Us Engaged centers on in-classroom instruction, offering fresh student perspectives on how faculty can maximize engagement when teaching in person.

Harrington expertly pairs all new student narratives - a signature feature of this much-loved volume - with easy-to-implement strategies that faculty can use to shift perspectives, strengthen connections with course material, and deepen learning. Topics range from starting positive on the first day of class to developing authentic assignments that push boundaries and giving compassionate, constructive feedback, among other key areas. Each chapter is accompanied by sharply perceptive reflection prompts ideal for individual use or in faculty book groups and professional development workshops.

Firmly grounded in active learning principles and enthusiastically endorsed by the learners themselves, this book is an essential resource for all faculty looking to better engage students in traditional face-to-face classroom instruction.
