This is a practical 'how-to' guide which is supported throughout by accessible explorations of how teaching can support your research. Written by lecturers who have taught for many years, the 'voice of experience' sections will support and encourage you in your move towards becoming a successful and confident educator.
The Success in Research series, from Cindy Becker and Pam Denicolo, provides short, authoritative and accessible guides on key areas of professional and research development.
Avoiding jargon and cutting to the chase of what you really need to know, these practical and supportive books cover a range of areas from presenting research to achieving impact, and from publishing journal articles to developing proposals. They are essential reading for any student or researcher interested in developing their skills and broadening their professional and methodological knowledge in an academic context.

I think the style is very accessible and the content relevant. I will use this as part of the induction process for new team members
Excellent book to help prepare teachers for work in further and higher education. Easy to read
Very useful textbook for an MSc Professional and Higher Education Module - Current Issues in Higher Education- I particularly liked the writing style and the way the authors approached topics such as preparing seminars. I will recommend this text. This text might also be useful for Professional Doctorate students undertaking taught modules in Advancing Professional Practice.
Excellent writing style/approach, allowed the user to engage with the subject matter. The use of top-tips, voice of experience, words of warning and checklists were also innovative and practical in terms of reflecting real-life experiences that would/could be encountered in HE teaching. Simple things like glossary, further reading and exercises all add to the reading experience and clearly support the new lecturer in HE. Overall a very good text, and I will certainly recommend it to my students and colleagues.
