About this book
College still looks like it did a century ago, with instructors delivering lectures to silent rows of students. Yet research shows unambiguously that active learning is more effective and inclusive. The New College Classroom translates the evidence into hands-on guidance for teachers in every discipline and institution, so all students can excel.

Bold, brilliant, and beautiful. Davidson and Katopodis challenge us to reimagine what happens in the classroom so that it becomes a capacious place of learning and engagement for both students and teachers. They offer theoretical insight, but more importantly they share strategies, ideas, and examples to help spark our own creativity. In the process, they provide us with a vision of possibility for the spaces, indeed the very worlds, we inhabit.
