These techniques from the arts, humanities, social sciences, and sciences can enhance learning and support professional development experiences for students and faculty alike.

Quick Hits for Creativity in the Classroom brings together creative and successful approaches to teaching across disciplines to provide an exciting resource for implementing and generating teaching practices to make our classrooms welcoming and empowering spaces, whether in person or online. Editors Julie Goodspeed-Chadwick, Michael Morrone, Deborah Elizabeth Whaley, and Karissa Rector have collected over 40 essays to equip university and college instructors with teaching strategies, tools, materials, ideas, assignments, and more to foster engagement with as many students as possible while supporting faculty and student agency in the learning process.

Gathering a diverse array of award-winning teachers from a wide range of disciplines and academic levels, Quick Hits for Creativity in the Classroom will prove to be an invaluable resource for evidence-based effective teaching that cultivates creativity and enhances students' opportunities to demonstrate what they have learned in the classroom and beyond.
