Being a Teacher in Higher Education draws extensively on the research literature to provide detailed guidance on the core of teaching: teaching, learning activities, assessment, planning, and achieving good evaluation. It offers hundreds of practical suggestions in a collegial rather than didactic style. This is not another book of advice or heroic success stories. First, Peter Knight appreciates the different circumstances of new, permanent, and part-time teachers. Second, he emphasizes that teaching is as much about teachers' sense of self as it is about the range of clever teaching techniques they can combine. He also makes clear that it is essential to develop a sense of being a good teacher (especially when working under increasingly challenging conditions); for this reason, the final section of the book is devoted to career management and dealing with change. This is about teaching and being a teacher: it is about minimizing the risk of disengagement and maximizing the psychological rewards that make teaching more effective. This is an optimistic book for university professors who feel that their opportunities for professional development have stagnated. Obeikan Publishing
