Geeky Pedagogy book cover


Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Intellecutals, Introverts, and Nerds Who Want to be Effective Teachers by Dr. Jessamyn Neuhaus



Geeky Pedagogy explores how faculty and instructors can use the very qualities that make us successful scholars to enhance our own teaching practice. With an emphasis  on being aware of who our students are and how our own identity shapes how we teach, the book is full of practical advice for how to increase your pedagogical knowledge and become a more reflective teacher.

Any interested UWSP faculty or staff members are invited to participate. Book Group discussion sessions will be held via Zoom. A registration link and information on dates and times will be shared here soon and in our March newsletter.
