Small Teaching Online offers small teaching strategies that will positively impact the online classroom.泭The book outlines practical and feasible applications of theoretical principles to help your online students learn. It includes current best practices around educational technologies, strategies to build community and collaboration, and minor changes you can make in your online teaching practice, small but impactful adjustments that result in significant learning gains.

Lang, James M.. Small Teaching: Everyday Lessons From the Science of Learning. First edition. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, 2016.

In Small Teaching, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of modest but powerful changes that make a big differencemany of which can be put into practice in a single class period. These strategies are designed to bridge the chasm between primary research and the classroom environment in a way that can be implemented by any faculty in any discipline, and even integrated into pre-existing teaching techniques.

Fink, L. Dee. Creating significant learning experiences: an integrated approach to designing college courses. Jossey-Bass A Wiley Imprint, 2013

This edition addresses new research on how people learn, active learning, and student engagement; includes illustrative examples from online teaching; and reports on the effectiveness of Fink's time-tested model. Fink also explores recent changes in higher education nationally and internationally and offers more proven strategies for dealing with student resistance to innovative teaching.

Tapping into the knowledge, tools, and strategies in Creating Significant Learning Experiences empowers educators to creatively design courses that will result in significant learning for their students.

Truong, Fabien. Jeunesses Fran癟aises: Bac + 5 Made in Banlieue. Paris, France: La D矇couverte, [2015], 2015.

Sociologist Fabien Truong, a former high school teacher in Seine Saint-Denis, followed and monitored twenty of his former students, from their baccalaureate degree, an academic qualification required to pursue university studies which French students take at the end of high school (often known in France colloquially as "le bac"), until the end of their studies - the Bac+5 or Master's degree. Alternately teacher, researcher, counselor and confidante, Truong draws a portrait of immigrant youth from the Parisian suburbs, observing their daily dilution into French society. Faced with the stigma of their origins, the students fight to gain self-esteem, learn to navigate between the multiple borders of the social world, and seek escape and the fulfillment of their dreams of upward mobility by getting through school

Dweck, Carol S.. Mindset: The New Psychology Of Success. New York : Ballantine Books, 2008.

Dweck offers new insights into her now famous and broadly embraced concept. She introduces a phenomenon she calls false growth mindset and guides people toward adopting a deeper, truer growth mindset. She also expands the mindset concept beyond the individual, applying it to the cultures of groups and organizations. With the right mindset, you can motivate those you lead, teach, and loveto transform their lives and your own.

Distilling the research literature and translating the scientific approach into language relevant to a college or university teacher, this book introduces seven general principles of how students learn. The authors have drawn on research from a breadth of perspectives (cognitive, developmental, and social psychology; educational research; anthropology; demographics; organizational behavior) to identify a set of key principles underlying learning, from how effective organization enhances retrieval and use of information to what impacts motivation. Integrating theory with realclassroom examples in practice, this book helps faculty to apply cognitive science advances to improve their own teaching.

Newport, Cal. Deep work : rules for focused success in a distracted world. New York : Grand Central Publishing, 2016.泭

Speak to to borrow a copy.

In Deep Work, author and professor Cal Newport flips the narrative on impact in a connected age. Instead of arguing distraction is bad, he instead celebrates the power of its opposite. Dividing this book into two parts, he first makes the case that in almost any profession, cultivating a deep work ethic will produce massive benefits. He then presents a rigorous training regimen, presented as a series of four "rules," for transforming your mind and habits to support this skill.
