Students and faculty come together in this powerful collection to discuss experiences and teaching practices that can change students’ lives. Organized into four parts, these first-person accounts explore the many challenges facing college students, offering advice on how to best serve low-income, first-generation, underrepresented student populations; how to foster political engagement; and how to help students take charge of their lives and education. The stories in College Teaching and Learning for Change provide higher education faculty and student affairs practitioners with an increased understanding of the wide variety of student experiences, and together they constitute a platform for encouraging student success.

Reviews for College Teaching and Learning for Change: Students and Faculty Speak Out

""The shortfalls in higher education get plenty of press today; it can wear you down. The essays assembled in this new volume offer a most welcome counter-narrative. Readers will find rich resources, thoughtful research, and lively stories of the diverse, often surprising ways and places that learning happens—for both students and teachers."" – Pat Hutchings, Senior Scholar, National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment ""Forget the ivory tower! This vital new book testifies to the educational power that comes when college and life are not kept apart. College Teaching and Learning for Change offers compelling stories about teaching imaginatively, overcoming adversity, building community, and finding one’s voice... For readers eager to regain their pedagogical footing in a time of tectonic shifts in the academe, this book is a perfect place to start."" – Mary Taylor Huber, Senior Scholar Emerita, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
