Reader's Favorite 5 Star Book Review of Classroom LIGHTBULBS

 

Thank you for the very kind words:

Classroom LIGHTBULBS for College Professors was written to give practical teaching tips to professors. It’s for both those who are new to teaching at the university level and those who have taught for years but want to re-invigorate their teaching by implementing fresh ideas. The book is divided into two parts. The first part is about the ideas the author, Perry Binder, has gleaned from his 20- plus years as a college professor. Binder also shares how the pandemic changed his teaching. The second part is about the LIGHTBULBS acronym. There are also a large number of appendices in which Binder writes about topics ranging from interviews with master teachers to books that inspired him, and much more. The author also provides space for professors to write down their experiences as they integrate with the LIGHTBULBS acronym. 

I’ve been an adjunct university professor for 18 years, which is one reason why I wanted to read this book. Although I’m experienced, there is always something new to learn. Classroom LIGHTBULBS for College Professors did not disappoint me. The book is eminently hands-on, packed with ideas that any professor can, and should, use to improve his or her classroom teaching and demeanor. I especially liked the numerous anecdotes and examples that Perry Binder shared. Any professor will be able to identify with them. I highly recommend this excellent book to both new and experienced professors, and high school teachers too. Congratulations to the author for writing an exceptional, practical, and fun-to-read book.

She Taught Yale's Most Popular College Class Ever on Happiness. Then She Burnt Out

 

This article is proof that no one is immune from burnout and dips in emotion.  Speak with colleagues, possibly get professional help, and surround yourself with positive people.

The key to beating burnout is the same as the key to mental wellbeing generally, Santos insists. Do things that actually make people happy, even if you don't feel like it at first. ...

Finding time for these things often means cutting back on other activities that may feel hard to give up. More nights out with friends means dragging yourself away from the latest addictive Netflix show. Finding time for an identity-enriching, happiness-boosting hobby will probably entail turning down some work commitments (research suggests this will actually improve your professional performance in the long run).
