What Teaching Looks Like: Higher Education through Photographs is unlike any other book on higher education that I have ever read. The work is visually arresting, extremely engaging, and profound. That’s a rare combination… I encourage you to read it and to give its questions your consideration. I’d wager that you might see what goes in the classroom in different ways. 

IT IS AMAZING. The pictures are fantastic and the content really drives home so much about what I love about teaching. This is a MUST READ. For all of you who love higher ed, look at it and, likely, as I did, see yourself or the fantastic educators and learners you know, in those photos.

Such a powerful way to document what’s happening in the classroom and to drive change!

Horii … and Springborg … deliver a documentary-photography project that makes vividly real effective, engaged teaching. Anyone interested in better teaching can see, and not just think abstractly about, the human interactions that enliven the class setting: the magic of in-person learning.

The book is a fascinating look at classroom and student life through a photographer’s lens. More than that, it is meant to inspire reflection and conversation on how to improve both teaching practices and student support services.
