Transformative Teaching-Stories That Inspire

Joe Hoyle•joehoyle-teaching.blogspot.com

Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world." I believe that absolutely and I want to share that message. I have taught in college now for more than five decades. I have written two free books on teaching: Transformative Education (https://scholarship.richmond.edu/bookshelf/375/) and Tips and Thoughts on Improving the Teaching Process in College -- A Personal Diary. For many years, I have maintained a teaching blog (Teaching—Getting the Most from Your Students) with more than 300 essays from my personal experience.
