Download or read book The Missing Course written by David Gooblar and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-20 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What a delight to read David Gooblar’s book on teaching and learning. He wraps important insights into a story of discovery and adventure.” —Ken Bain, author of What the Best College Teachers Do College is changing, but the way we train academics is not. Most professors are taught to be researchers first and teachers a distant second, even as scholars are increasingly expected to excel in the classroom. There has been a revolution in teaching and learning over the past generation, and we now have a whole new understanding of how the brain works and how students learn. The Missing Course offers a field guide to the state-of-the-art in teaching and learning and is packed with insights to help students learn in any discipline. Wary of the folk wisdom of the faculty lounge, David Gooblar builds his lessons on the newest findings and years of experience. From active-learning strategies to ways of designing courses to get students talking, The Missing Course walks you through the fundamentals of the student-centered classroom, one in which the measure of success is not how well you lecture but how much your students actually learn. “Warm and empirically based, comprehensive but accessible, student-centered and also scientific. We’re so lucky to have Gooblar as a guide.” —Sarah Rose Cavanagh, author of The Spark of Learning “Goes beyond critique, offering a series of activities, approaches, and strategies that instructors can implement. His wise and necessary book is a long defense of the idea that a university can be a site of the transformation of self and society.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “An invaluable source of insight and wisdom on what it means to work with students. We’ve needed this book for a long time.” —John Warner, author of Why They Can’t Write

Download or read book The Missing Link written by Lee Meadows and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For too long, evolution has been denied its place in the science curriculum. School policies driven by misunderstanding or fea regularly displace widely recognized principles of science. But without understanding evolution, students--no matter what their religious beliefs--will never achieve the level of scientific literacy they need to make sense of even everyday practicalities like how human viruses work. In The Missing Link, Lee Meadows has crafted an approach to teaching evolution that helps students understand its explanatory power whether they accept its principles or not. All students are invited to engage in inquiry, where questions, evidence, and exploration supplant values-based debates over right and wrong answers. Teachers will find the tools and resources they need to develop a unit on evolution including: an overview of inquiry-based science teaching outlines for lesson plans a plethora of internet resources. An appendix also provides a refresher course for teachers who may want to sharpen their content knowledge of evolution. And a study guide makes this ideal for book study groups. Bring The Missing Link to your teaching and keep the doors to science open for all your students.

Nina Jackson's mission in Of Teaching, Learning and Sherbet Lemons is to put the fizz back into classrooms by solving some of the toughest dilemmas facing teachers.

The teachers' questions in Of Teaching, Learning and Sherbet Lemons have been anonymised, but Nina's answers will resonate with teachers everywhere, offering support and practical advice. Nina doesn't have a magic wand but what she does have is years of experience, honesty and a commitment to help everyone be the best they can be. After all, second best just won't do!
