Engaging Students Through Building Community in the College Classroom discusses innovative and creative best practices, techniques, activities, and policies that can be used by college instructors to develop a sense of supportive and enhanced classroom community for students within college courses. Applying and extending concepts from Boyer’s SoTL and E. Barkley’s research on Student Engagement, a central theme explored is how and why the college instructor can be a facilitator for engaging students in active learning by promoting constructive classroom community through attitude, communication, and class policies and practices. Concepts presented can be used across disciplines.
