The structures and practices of higher education have been largely unchanged for at least a century. But the students entering have become more varied, and they are often ill-served by the status quo. Do we just keep blaming the students? David Gooblar offers a resounding no. In this timely book, Gooblar provides practical ways to improve learning and a sense of belonging for everyone. If you follow even half the suggestions here, your classes will be more effective and enjoyable, for the instructor and the students alike.

In our current moment, all too many colleges and universities are running away from ‘DEI’ work, as if diversity were not an empirical reality and equity and inclusion not ethical imperatives in higher education. Thankfully, David Gooblar has written a vital intervention, urging a return to the foundational principles of meaningful teaching and learning. One Classroom at a Time offers a wealth of ways, from specific strategies to overall mindsets, for us to shape a more just and sustainable future. This energizing and important work should find its way to every teacher’s bookshelf.

As David Gooblar notes, the histories that accompany many students as they enter the classroom act like scar tissue—the remnants of active wounds. Unless we are aware of and tend to those scars, we risk perpetuating the harm. One Classroom at a Time engagingly provides both research-driven arguments for transforming instructional practices and hands-on, pragmatic suggestions for ways to go about effecting that transformation.

At a time when there are serious threats to the ability of institutions to serve diverse populations, David Gooblar reminds us that there are no insurmountable barriers to the work of teaching the students who come before us in our classrooms. Helping students learn, regardless of their prior experience, is the work we are all called to do.
