So, although I have been teaching every semester for over 20 years and do consider myself an educator within my profession, I am not full-time faculty and teaching is just one of my professional activities. I have earned a few certifications in some aspects of teaching from my college over the years and from the ACUE but my professional (medical) and undergraduate college degrees are not in education. My professional reading typically is focused on my primary profession – veterinary pathology/forensic veterinary medicine & pathology/clinical pathology – and, because I teach in program that is clinically as well as basic sciences based, I peruse much of the clinical veterinary medical and technician/nursing literature, as well. I do need to read a chapter or 2 in a novel (fiction) every week when I can to keep sane, which doesn’t leave a lot of time for reading other stuff. I read very little nonfiction not directly related to vet med; when I do it’s always about animals or the environment/ecosystems, etc. I do workshops and webinars related to teaching/pedagogy when I can and have read articles and a couple book chapters. Courtesy of ACUE, I have a copy of Catherine Denial’s A Pedagogy of Kindness and I do plan to read it soon – so I guess that’s what’s next on my nonfiction book reading list. – R

I would love to join the book club for “A Pedagogy of Kindness” in January! 📚
I would be interested in any text on effective online teaching practices. 👩🏽🏫💻

I would too. I will be taking another course in January so I am unsure of the time I will be able to devote to it but I will give it my best.
I also agree with any online practices.

I am currently reading “<em style=”font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; color: var( –e-global-color-text );”>Steal Like an Artist” by Austin Kleon. I started it a while back and had to start all over. I just needed something a little light hearted but something I could also use for myself and students. He has several books out and this one focuses on how to make something that is your own even though it has most likely been done before.
