This is especially true of first-generation college students, who are often unfamiliar with the norms and expectations of academia. College professors usually want to help, but many feel overwhelmed by the prospect of making extra time in their already hectic schedules to meet with these struggling students. 33 Simple Strategies for Faculty is a guidebook filled with practical solutions to this problem. It gives college faculty concrete exercises and tools they can use both inside and outside of the classroom to effectively bolster the academic success and wellbeing of their students. To devise these strategies, educational sociologist Lisa M. Nunn talked with a variety of first-year college students, learning what they find baffling and frustrating about their classes, as well as what they love about their professors’ teaching. Combining student perspectives with the latest research on bridging the academic achievement gap, she shows how professors can make a difference by spending as little as fifteen minutes a week helping their students acculturate to college life. Whether you are a new faculty member or a tenured professor, you are sure to find 33 Simple Strategies for Faculty to be an invaluable resource. Review: Scholarly and actionable - I am a professor of computer science at a selective private university in the US. About a year ago I started paying closer attention to the fact that the environment in STEM (both in academia and industry) is not equally welcoming for everyone. I started to make changes to all aspects of my own work: advising, teaching, managing my research group. This book contributed a number of relevant, actionable and well-researched strategies that I am eager to try in my classroom next semester. I really appreciate that each suggested strategy is also accompanied by excerpts from student interviews that motivated that particular strategy. I also appreciate the pointers to academic literature and the explicit explanations of the rationales for the strategies. Not all of the strategies are relevant to the course I teach, but many are. And even though the guide is ostensibly about making the classrooms more welcoming to first-year and first-generation students, I think many of the suggestions are more broadly useful for making our classrooms both welcoming and effective. Review: Elegantly written and authentic - Great choice for faculty reading groups; it’s well researched but also approachable. I’ll be recommending this one a lot, I suspect. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #654,105 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #216 in Social Studies Teaching Materials #305 in Arts & Humanities Teaching Materials #323 in Science & Technology Teaching Materials | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 52 Reviews | ## Images ![33 Simple Strategies for Faculty: A Week-by-Week Resource for Teaching First-Year and First-Generation Students - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IeoV31d3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scholarly and actionable *by K***. on November 14, 2018* I am a professor of computer science at a selective private university in the US.
