This delightful-to-read volume reveals the inside stories of 17 higher education instructors who have earned their success in the traditional classroom or with online instruction.

The primary purpose of this book is to help adjunct faculty and contract instructors understand how to becoming student-revered teachers. Seventeen educators tell their personal stories of their moment of clarity, a moment of insight that taught them something of significance about the true nature of teaching and how to teach for success. The reader will learn why some instructors teach better than others. Their stories reveal how these successful educators think about teaching and learning. Their stories are heartfelt, real, and worth hearing, especially if you care about teaching and student success. Whether you are adjunct faculty, full-time faculty, faculty developer, or trainer, you will benefit from the lessons these authors have to teach.
