Books like Small Teaching by James M. Lang

Name: Small Teaching
Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Author: James M. Lang

Research into learning has highlighted the power of cognitive theory for enhancing student outcomes, yet many works present theories that are too abstract for classroom use. In Small Teaching, James M. Lang bridges that gap with a practical strategy: a collection of modest, easily implemented changes that improve learning. Each chapter explains a core cognitive concept, discusses when and how to use it, and provides concrete examples from a range of disciplines. The techniques include brief classroom or online activities, single‑use interventions, and small design or communication modifications that can be introduced in a single class period. The book is intended for any faculty member, regardless of field, and can be integrated into existing teaching practices.
