I just received this new book notice which seems within Mg-Ed-Dv's domain:
Moira A. Fallon, SUNY - College at Brockport and Susan C. Brown, eds.
Teaching Inclusively in Higher Education (Charlotte: Information Age
Publishers)
This book is designed for higher education instructors. The focus of the
book is to assist all faculty instructors in higher education to better meet
the needs of their student populations. It addresses the major issue of
higher education teaching today: the need to reach all higher education
students using active learning strategies. Higher education today is rapidly
changing and faculty members are being presented with new types of students:
ones who often have clear goals for bettering themselves, but at the same
time lack what might have been considered to be basic skills necessary for
success in a college or university setting. Instructors today must reach and
bring all students into the college or university setting in an inclusive
manner. The emphasis of this book is on student-focused strategies for
teaching inclusively. This book will provide valuable strategies and
practical techniques for instructors to develop inclusive college classrooms
that promote the learning of all students.
The audience targeted will be all instructors who work with higher education
students, including students in community colleges and vocational
institutions. The book is designed to be mainly practical instructional
strategies with limited theoretical text and references. At the same time,
major theories will be included to demonstrate why specific approaches are
recommended. Although the authors and editors are from the field of
education, the book is particularly valuable for all college instructors
without a background in the discipline of education.
