About this deal

All chapters have been thoroughly updated and expanded to reflect today’s classroom formats, whether online or face-to-face, or in large ­lectures or small groups. Chapter 3 establishes the importance for critical reflection of teachers analyzing their own autobiographies as learners. In his own personal voice Stephen Brookfield draws from over 45 years of experience to illustrate the clear benefits of critical reflection.

Educators with the courage to challenge their own assumptions in an effort to improve learning are the invaluable role models our students need. Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education, he is the author of numerous books on teaching, including The Skillful Teacher (2015), Teaching for Critical Thinking (2011), and The Discussion Book (with Stephen Preskill) (2016), all from Jossey-Bass.

Chapter 5 describes how to use learning journals, and other techniques to see through students' eyes. Having someone who conveys such similar challenges as my own was quite helpful, both in terms of knowing that my concerns are common, but also by providing practical ways to reflect in different ways and take actions to develop my teaching even further.

Assumptions guide practice and only when we base our actions on accurate assumptions will we achieve the results we want. Despite the continuity of the core thesis in the second edition, Brookfield has done something rather unusual for a new edition in completely rewriting “the whole book from the opening sentence to the last” (ix). Filled with practical tools and expert insight, this volume helps facilitate a journey of constructive self-critique. Houle Award for Outstanding Literature in Adult Education, he is the author of numerous books on teaching, including The Skillful Teacher(2015), Teaching for Critical Thinking(2011), and The Discussion Book(with Stephen Preskill) (2016), all from Jossey-Bass.

Brookfield demonstrates a kind of transparently rarely conveyed in our sharing about becoming more effective in our teaching. Chapter 4 continues the discussion of the autobiographies and describes a number of practical approaches for doing autobiographical reflection. What I love about this simple, anonymous survey is that it provides clear insight into how students experience my teaching. Stephen Brookfield—the award-wining educator and bestselling author—explains how to confront the contradictions involved in creating democratic classrooms by using critical reflection as a tool for ongoing personal and professional development.
