Sage Publications released An A-Z of Creative Teaching in Higher Education earlier this year. The co-authors are Sylvia Ashton, an independent educational consultant, and Rachel Stone of Sheffield Hallam University, UK. As one might expect, the chapters of the book are organized by the letters of the alphabet: A is for Action, E is for Emotion, G is for Groups, etc. Through this organization, they are able to pull together research on many different topics related to college teaching with an emphasis on innovation and creativity. The authors provide case studies, practical examples, and practical suggestions along with recommendations for further reading. The 248-page book is available for $32.85 on Amazon or $26.00 in Kindle format.
