Those who can, teach
Book Description
Stepping into the classroom for the first time as a new professor can feel like entering uncharted territory. The skills that carried you through doctoral studies don't automatically translate to effective teaching, and the gap between academic research and classroom instruction often leaves new educators feeling unprepared.
This thoughtful guide emerges from the wisdom of experienced faculty at McMaster Divinity College, who recognized the need to bridge this crucial transition. Drawing from their biennial teaching colloquium, these educators have crafted a comprehensive resource that addresses both the theoretical foundations and practical realities of Christian higher education.
The book explores the unique dimensions of teaching as a calling rather than merely a profession. It examines how Christian educators can integrate their faith with pedagogical excellence, creating learning environments that honor both intellectual rigor and spiritual formation. From understanding classroom dynamics to developing effective teaching methods, the contributors offer insights gained through years of experience in seminary and undergraduate settings.
Whether you're a doctoral student preparing for your first teaching position or an established educator seeking to refine your approach, this collection provides valuable guidance for those committed to excellence in Christian education. The authors understand that great teaching requires more than subject matter expertise—it demands a deep understanding of how learning happens and how faith intersects with the educational process.
