Description
Book SynopsisTeaching history well is not just a matter of
knowing history - it is a set of skills that can be developed and honed through practice. In this theoretically informed but eminently practical volume, Mary Jo Festle examines the recent explosion of research on the teaching and learning of history.
Trade ReviewAs director of a teaching and learning center, each year I would give incoming faculty a book on teaching that they would find not only immediately useful, but one to which they could return time and again. Mary Jo Festle's excellent contribution certainly hits that mark." - Steven S. Volk, Oberlin College
"Festle's command of the scholarship of teaching and learning in history is impressive, as is her integration of theory and practice. This book should be on the shelves of any well-stocked collection in a university teaching and learning center." - Joel Sipress, University of Wisconsin-Superior
