This book explores the art and science of teaching in public affairs
programs by asking top instructors to discuss their tools and tips for
the trade. Public affairs is a discipline that builds scholarly
knowledge but also trains and educates public administrators to
improve their careers, organizations, and communities. Instructors in
public affairs programs at the university level therefore play a vital
role in safeguarding the governing capacity of public bureaucracies
and nonprofits, and it is crucial that their teaching is effective.
Containing chapters written by award-winning teachers, grounded in
first-hand experience and supplemented with education research, this
book offers guidance to new and veteran instructors alike on what
works (and doesn’t) in public affairs classrooms. Topics covered
include teaching at the undergraduate and graduate levels, teaching
nontraditional students, promoting inclusivity in the classroom,
managing classrooms, teaching effectively online, and defining student
success in the classroom, among other themes. This book will be of
keen interest to instructors currently teaching courses on public
administration, public policy, and nonprofit management, as well as
PhD students looking to enhance their teaching skills.
