Description
The Lecturer's Toolkit was first published as a photocopyable ring-bound resource and was an immediate success for all those in HE seeking to develop learning and teaching skills. Now fully revised, the second edition is available both as an A4 ring-binder and as a paperback edition for the first time. This new edition will be equally valued by individuals and by staff-developers for group work. Building on the practical strengths of the first edition, the toolkit is the primary resource for all teachers in HE, whatever their experience, who are seeking to improve teaching skills. Developed around detailed, practical guidance on the core elements of effective teaching in HE, the Toolkit will be essential for anyone working towards accredited teacher status (with the ILT, for example) as well as for those who want to reflect on and develop existing skills.

'This is a timely book of exploration that seeks illumination from experiences as well as theories.' - Mary Henkel, Brunel University, UK This is a timely book of exploration that seeks illumination from experiences as well as theories. It moves forward studies of academic identities in a number of critically important ways. Taking as its point of departure the supercomplexity confronting and pervading contemporary higher education, it locates studies of identities firmly in the diversity of actors that shape and are shaped by it. A central feature is the exploration of voice in the "historical process of construction, deconstruction and reconstruction" that epitomises identity development for the editors. It succeeds in incorporating not only a variety of voices but also a dialogue between them characterised by an openness to the other as well as by individual integrity. Crucially, too, it gives due place to knowledge identities in giving first voice to a discipline-rooted critical exploration of the potential for interdisciplinarity to contribute alongside the disciplines in the construction of identities in higher education.Mary Henkel
