Teachin' It! Breakout Moves That Break down Barriers for Community College Students
Darling, Felicia
Teachers College Press
"Teachin' It!" is a hands-on guide to cutting-edge research and classroom strategies that redress the graduation gap in community and open-access colleges. Drawing from the author's 30 years in the education field as a math and college skills instructor, teacher educator, and researcher, this book describes an asset-based model that bolsters the success of all students, especially those underrepresented with 4-year degrees. This community includes students of color, first-generation college students, LGBTQ+ students, and students with disabilities. Readers will discover new strategies to create equitable, engaging, interactive classroom environments where students from all backgrounds are motivated to take risks, make mistakes, share their unique approaches and perspectives, and develop their own identities as powerful lifelong learners. Topics include inquiry-based learning, implicit bias, growth mindset, stereotype threat, scaffolding, college and career skills, and a community of learners. This book: (1) Helps instructors disrupt larger systemic inequities by creating safe, interactive learning environments where all students develop as adult learners; (2) Translates complex education theory and neuroscience research using real-life classroom examples and student and instructor narratives; (3) Demonstrates over 50 strategies that instructors can pilot the very next day in their own disciplines and classrooms, and explains the reasons why these strategies work; and (4) Draws from the author's own classroom and research experiences to illustrate how to effectively implement Stanford's academic mindset strategies.
