This book emerges from the author's ongoing work as director of Elon University's Center for Engaged Learning, where for the past decade, more than 200 scholars from over 120 post-secondary institutions across more than a dozen countries have participated in multi-institutional scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). This book focuses on six key practices:· Acknowledging and building on students' prior knowledge and experiences · Facilitating relationships · Offering feedback · Framing connections to broader contexts · Fostering reflection and metacognition · Promoting integration and transfer of knowledge and skills.Following the introduction, the author devotes individual chapters to each of the six practices, and the concluding chapter focuses on implementing the six practices as an integrated approach.
