This is a practical 'how-to' guide which is supported throughout by accessible explorations of how teaching can support your research. Written by lecturers who have taught for many years, the 'voice of experience' sections will support and encourage you in your move towards becoming a successful and confident educator.
The Success in Research series, from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative and accessible guides on key areas of professional and research development.
Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and from publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are essential reading for any student or researcher interested in developing their skills and broadening their professional and methodological knowledge in an academic context.

A collection of free tips, exercises and resources from all books in the Success in Research series
A clear and engaging book. I have recommended it to other teaching areas within our institution.
This textbook has helped me as a lecturer revisit teaching techniques we've taken for granted.
Does not fulfil need
A very straightforward handbook about lecturing in higher education. Simple and easily accessible with some great ideas and a re-assuring tone.
Excellent book for new teachers to HE with some reflective activities to help you establish your role in teaching and research.
Too generic- a bit like 'teaching a granny to suck eggs' in places. Can see its rtelevance to those outside of education approaching teaching for the first time, but not for ITE
Not adopted to the programme but incredibly helpful for me personally as a lecturer, so will be recommending to my colleagues
Not appropriate for the level of students whom I am involved with teaching at present. However, recommended to colleagues.
A good introduction to higher education. a useful classroom resource.
An excellent book that will help and support students who wish to teach H.E. courses. It is easy to understand and helps the reader to look at different teaching strategies.
