Higher Teaching is a practical manual designed for the new teacher in college or university. It is divided into two sections: Practice, which addresses what to when you get your first course outline to teach, how to choose strategies and plan lessons, and how to manage your classroom so it is a safe and positive place in which students learn. There are chapters on instructional media, teaching online assessment and evaluation, dealing with difficult students and academic integrity issues, and how to improve your teaching. The second part "Theory and Background," focuses on the theories that inform current higher education teaching and curriculum, adult education, and a very useful chapter of advices extracted from experienced teachers responding to the question "What's the advice you would give to a brand new teacher?" Also useful to a new teacher are the glossary of academic jargon and a lesson plan template.
