Fall 23 Teaching & Learning Book Discussion

Improving learning and mental health in the college classroom. 

How teachers can help combat higher education’s mental health crisis.

A book cover with the words "Improving Learning and Mental Health in the College Classroom " above a picture of college students working.  The authors names are below.

Drawing from interviews with students and the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book examines how faculty can—instead of adding to their own significant workloads or duplicating counselors’ efforts—combat student stress through adjustments to the work they already do as teachers.

Improving Learning and Mental Health in the College Classroom provides practical tips that reduce unnecessary discouragement. It demonstrates how small improvements in teaching can have great impacts in the lives of students with mental health challenges, while simultaneously boosting learning for all students.
