Forcey Jr. Eric Rothschild. Unlike their counterparts on the high school or elementary school level, those who teach college students have extensive training in their various disciplines, but surprisingly little instruction in the craft of teaching itself.

The Chicago Handbook for Teachers is an extraordinarily helpful guide for all those who face the challenge of putting together material for a cours Unlike their counterparts on the high school or elementary school level, those who teach college students have extensive training in their various disciplines, but surprisingly little instruction in the craft of teaching itself. The Chicago Handbook for Teachers is an extraordinarily helpful guide for all those who face the challenge of putting together material for a course and then making it work.

Representing teachers at all stages of their careers, the authors, including distinguished historian Alan Brinkley, offer practical advice for almost any situation a new teacher might face, from preparing a syllabus to managing classroom dynamics.

Beginning with a nuts and bolts plan for designing a course, the handbook also explains how to lead a discussion, evaluate your own teaching, deliver an effective lecture, supervise students' writing and research, create and grade exams, and more. Other sections address the less straightforward aspects of teaching, such as dealing with "diversity issues" and knowing where to draw the line in relationships with students.

Particularly timely is an up-to-date discussion of when and how best to incorporate the Internet and other electronic resources into your teaching.

Indispensable for graduate students and new teachers, The Chicago Handbook for Teachers is also a useful refresher for the experienced professionals. Get A Copy. Paperback , pages. More Details Original Title. Chicago Guides to Academic Life.

Currently, it may seem out of date but there are still some key points that are useful. Definitely a must read for teachers. May 02, Marianne Kupin rated it really liked it.

I was also terrified. I have very little teaching experience at the collegic level so I wasn't sure where, or how, to begin. I happened to run across this book at the library and it has become an invaluable resource.

While I'm still nervous about my very first day of teaching, this text has provided me with all the "odds and ends" of teaching; along with all the details to take into consideration. How do you structure a syllabus? What is the best method of teaching: online, lecture, socratic discussions, or a mixture of the three?

All of these things, and more, are within this book. If you are new at the world of college teaching and don't know where to turn then this book is for you.
