Produktbeschreibung

Introducing a fresh approach to conceptualising and actioning high-quality teaching in higher education, this essential volume fills a gap in current literature by expanding beyond the mere 'delivery' of teaching. Instead, it offers an evidence-based discussion of 'artistry' and demonstrates how this may be applied successfully within a higher education setting to enable better student learning. Key concepts such as improvisation, embodiment, knowing oneself and one's students, and a compassionate and relational approach to facilitating learning are unpacked throughout.

Filled with practical examples based on scholarship and experience from and applicable to a wide range of disciplines, The Artistry of Teaching in Higher Education is divided into three distinct parts which explore:

• Creativity, improvisation and context;
• Authenticity and professional identity;
• Developing the artistry of teaching.

An essential read for teachers, senior management, educational developers, and policy makers alike, this book acts as a call to action within higher education institutions to support and create space for learning, creativity and innovation, to the benefit of the development of their teachers' expertise.
