			== Fall 2024 Faculty Book Club ==

			The Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Faculty Development is pleased to announce
			its 17th Annual Fall Faculty Book Club. This fall we will be reading ''[https://www.oupress.com/9780806193854/a-pedagogy-of-kindness/ A Pedagogy of Kindness]'' by Catherin J. Daniel.

			Here is a description of the book from the publisher:

			<blockquote>
			Academia is not, by and large, a kind place. Individualism and competition are what count. But without kindness at its core, Catherine Denial suggests, higher education fails students and instructors—and its mission—in critical ways.

			Part manifesto, part teaching memoir, part how-to guide, A Pedagogy of Kindness urges higher education to get aggressive about instituting kindness, which Denial distinguishes from niceness. Having suffered beneath the weight of just “getting along,” instructors need to shift every part of what they do to prioritizing care and compassion—for students as well as for themselves.

			A Pedagogy of Kindness articulates a fresh vision for teaching, one that focuses on ensuring justice, believing people, and believing in people. Offering evidence-based insights and drawing from her own rich experiences as a professor, Denial offers practical tips for reshaping syllabi, assessing student performance, and creating trust and belonging in the classroom. Her suggestions for concrete, scalable actions outline nothing less than a transformational discipline—one in which, together, we create bright new spaces, rooted in compassion, in which all engaged in teaching and learning might thrive.
			</blockquote>

			The Fall Faculty Book Club will meet three times this semester, so please only request a space if
			you are committed to attending all three of the following meetings:
			# Monday, October 14, 5:00-6:30 pm
			# Monday, November 18, 5:00-6:30 pm
			If you are interested, [https://cat.xula.edu/about/contact please contact CAT+FD]. We will accept the first 10
			people who respond, and will deliver the books as soon as possible.

			We look forward to reading with you and learning with you!
