Grasha never strays from showing readers how the content applies to them and their teaching.
Comprehensive
The book takes the reader on a journey that includes an understanding of the elements of teaching and learning styles; the need for discovering Who am I as a teacher? and What do I want to become?; personal change processes in teaching; exploring one's philosophy of teaching; and an integrative model for selecting instructional processes that are keyed to different blends of the Expert, Formal Authority, Personal Model, Facilitator, and Delegator styles of teaching and the Independent, Avoidant, Collaborative, Dependent, Competitive, and Participant learning styles.
Creative
Written to integrate the involvement of a workshop with the information of a text, Teaching With Style captures and holds our attention. Throughout each of the eight chapters, a variety of self-reflection activities - including the Teaching Styles Inventory, Grasha-Riechmann Student Learning Style Scales, Metaphors We Teach By Questionnaire, inventories of Psychological Type, Theoretical and HIstorical Assumptions About Teaching, and numerous checklists - help faculty motivate learners, promote critical thinking, encourage active learning and retention, and develop self-directed learners.
Scholarly
Provides citations to more than 200 works by researchers and practitioners across disciplines.
