The Engaged Teacher: What Works with Today’s Students

As described by Terry O’Banion, “Nancy Vader-McCormick is an authentic voice, seasoned and tempered in the fires of the teaching and learning experience; she has been on the firing line, on the ground, and in the trenches. In this book, she has transcended her experience as a practitioner to become a scholar, an author, a mentor—but always a teacher who wants to make passionate connections with her students and her readers.” The Engaged Teacher describes today’s college students, trends in the growth of postsecondary education, and the increased demand for accountability in education. It reaffirms major lessons learned from the teaching and learning research. This new title answers the question: “What do exemplary teachers do to engage today’s students in deep and sustained learning?” The purpose of this book is to examine ways teachers can better engage today’s students in learning and help them succeed in school. Teachers that employ some of the practical approaches presented in this book will: •Understand the relationship between the students, the subject matter, themselves, and teaching practices that positively influence and sustain student learning. •Reflectively examine and expand their teaching approaches to increast student engagement in deeper learning and increased responsibility. •Learn effective ways of teaching to enhance overall student success by employing a wide variety of practical examples, strategies, and pedagogies.
