Virtually anyone who has attended college can attest to poor teaching approaches by very bright professors. Professors simply are not trained or taught how to best teach their content. They are not aware of learning theories, brain research, pedagogy and andragogy. They teach the way they were taught—their mimetic isomorphism.Not only will this book share insights from all these areas, but it will also help professors prepare syllabi, create curriculum, prepare lesson plans, create assignments, and develop assessments with these concepts in mind. Further, we will embed differentiation, culturally relevant strategies, and the use of technology to enhance learning.

Dr. Rettig draws upon 40 years of experience in higher education and K-12. He has served as a public-school teacher and principal, a professor of educational leadership, and a university vice president and dean. His conceptual research agenda reaches from leadership, decision making, and how people learn with implications for our classrooms.With an emphasis on the Latin root of curriculum, “to run”, professor Dr. Bailey’s research focuses on the procession of our understanding of cognition, and ideological formations along the history of curriculum and instructional practices.

Educators reside in a binary space as both teacher and learner. In that space, they are responsible for continually and effectively developing the minds in their academic environment. A successful and efficacious educator performs teaching as an art form while imbuing the foundational science behind the brain's capacity to discover, discern, assimilate, accommodate, and critique information. This process is in no way static. Learning is active. Learning is participatory. Learn is indeed a verb. Rettig and Bailey have created a resource for teachers that enlivens the what, why, and how to best perform the active, artistic, and scientific processes of teaching and learning.
