Description
Summary:ISBN-13 9781118017005 (hardcover) When Brookfield (2013) authored his newest book, Powerful Techniques for Teaching Adults, he intended the book to be not only a "workbook of tools and techniques" (p. 243) but also an examination of how power and the balance of power on the part of both the student and the professor have a critical presence in the classroom. Brookfield's (2013) Chapters 2 through 7 cover the topics of "Teaching for Critical Thinking," "Using Discussion Methods," "Fostering Self-Directed Learning," "Democratizing the Classroom," "Teaching About Power," and "Teaching Using the Creative Arts."
