Developing Teaching Style in Adult Education

"It's impossible to read this book without reflecting on your own teaching style. Heimlich and Norland have achieveed a rare blAnd of theory and practice in producing a book that sheds new light on teaching adults." --Susan Imel, director, ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education

Presenting numerous activities--for both individuals and groups--designed to foster self-knowledge and growth in teaching, the authors examine the primary elements of the teaching-learning exchange. They explain how teaching style is developed, and they suggest specific approaches for matching methods to style. Valuable special resources, including scales for measuring beliefs and values about teaching, help describe individual teaching styles.
