In this book, James Lang presents a strategy for improving student learning with a series of small but powerful changes that make a big difference―many of which can be put into practice in a single class period. These are simple interventions that can be integrated into pre-existing techniques, along with clear descriptions of how to do so. Inside, you'll find brief classroom or online learning activities, one-time interventions, and small modifications in course design or student communication. These small tweaks will bring your classroom into alignment with the latest evidence in cognitive research.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach chapter introduces a basic concept in cognitive research that has implications for classroom teaching, explains the rationale for offering it within a specific time period in a typical class, and then provides concrete examples of how this intervention has been used or could be used by faculty in a variety of disciplines. The second edition features revised and updated content including a newly authored preface, new examples and techniques, updated research, and updated resources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can you make small tweaks to your teaching to bring the latest cognitive science into the classroom?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can you help students become good at retrieving knowledge from memory?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow does making predictions now help us learn in the future?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow can you build community in the classroom?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHigher education faculty and administrators, as well as K-12 teachers and teacher trainers, will love the easy-to-implement, evidence-based techniques in \u003ci\u003eSmall Teaching\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James M.
