Fuel your passion. Focus your energy. Teach Like a Champ.

In higher education today, instructors face heavier workloads, shifting student needs, and increasing technological challenges. Amid these ever-mounting pressures, how does one feed a passion for teaching and students while safeguarding oneself from burnout? The answer lies in not only being effective at teaching, but also being efficient and taking care of yourself.

Teach Like a Champ isn't just another teaching book--it's your sideline coach, your pep talk, and your playbook for thriving in higher education. Written by veteran educators with over 50 years' experience teaching and over 20 years' experience leading centers for teaching and learning, this book blends evidence-informed strategies, practical hacks, and real talk to help you teach effectively, efficiently, and sustainably. From course design and assessment to managing grading loads and using AI, you'll find tools to elevate your teaching while protecting your own well-being--so you can stay in the game and love it, year after year.
