Book Reviews of Successful Beginnings for College Teaching (Teaching Techniques/Strategies Series, V. 2)
Book Review: Took advice from the book and it worked
Summary: 5 Stars
Last night I taught my first-ever college class and used two of the several techniques from the book. Particularly, I used one of the name games to remember the students names, and after just one class I have every name committed to memory. I also used one of the student bonding excercies -- the "things in common" game -- and it actually worked too well. The class went from being distant to very wound-up, but it was all good.
Summary of Successful Beginnings for College Teaching (Teaching Techniques/Strategies Series, V. 2)
Laying the groundwork for a successful semester starts with the first day of class. Author Angela Provitera McGlynn tells that the first day is not the day to pass out a syllabus and let everyone go. Rather, it's the day to set the context for the rest of the semester.The author stresses the need for developing an atmosphere of respect for diversity while simultaneously providing a safe and exciting place to explore differences.
Included are a whole variety of ice breakers and other exercises to keep students engaged and interacting. In addition, such vital issues as environment, motivation, and civility are addressed with suggestions for promoting positive interactions.
