Title: How to Teach College : Inspiring Diverse Students in Challenging Times
Description: From the bestselling author of Lies My Teacher Told Me comes a profound and practical road map for cultivating a rewarding, empowering classroom experience for both teachers and students—brimming with lessons for lifelong learners “Not a few professors teach solely because they have to, to hold a position that lets them do what they really want to do, which is ‘their work'—their research, their writing.... Those professors miss the joys of teaching.” —from the introduction to How to Teach CollegeWidely known as a bestselling author and an award-winning college professor for over fifty years, James W. Loewen passed away in 2021, but his words and wisdom live on in How to Teach College. Full of strategies and secrets to inspire and invigorate students, this is a must-read for educational leaders at every level looking to deepen the impact of their teaching and inspire students to stay curious, vigilant, and engaged. How to Teach College is an invaluable resource for professors teaching in increasingly fraught American classrooms. With a special emphasis on teaching students from diverse backgrounds and potentially controversial subjects, this posthumously published book comes to us in Loewen's vibrant, original, and inimitable voice. In it, he offers advice on: How to make content come alive with vibrancy, leading to knowledge retention, comprehension, and student engagement How to convey a love of one's topic and motivate students to become lifelong learners—both in the classroom and outside of it How to efficiently design a syllabus, manage the classroom, and optimize testing and grading The importance of ethics and open-mindedness when it comes to shaping young minds, and how to incorporate freedom of thought into each and every lesson As a leading sociologist of race relations and a prizewinning college educator with a teaching career spanning over half a century at Tougaloo College, Harvard University, University of Vermont, and Catholic University, Loewen taught the way he wrote: with creativity, humor, and a high expectation that students can handle the truth. Edited by Loewen's son, himself a fellow educator and longtime high school teacher, as well as sociology professor Michael Dawson, How to Teach College comes as a pivotal moment in history and is sure to inspire and motivate generations of teachers to come.
