This potpourri of pedagogical practices culminates a lifetime of teaching—in kindergartens, primary schools, middle schools, and high schools, in undergraduate and graduate school lecture halls, in corporate training rooms, on military bases, and in auditoriums before multi-thousand audiences. These experiences have created a very heavy “toolkit” that I am now eager to remove and turn over to others.
You, no doubt, already have a heavy toolkit of your own. If you bought this book, you are probably one of those exemplary instructors who is always experimenting, always discovering, always evolving. Like me, you are probably eager to share with others what you’ve done and what you’ve learned. Over the years, I have exchanged ideas with student teachers, with colleagues, and with readers of my other books, but nowhere have I presented 500 ideas all at once! (Actually, well over 1,000 when you add in all the options on virtually every page and add the Appendix ideas as well.) This book is a compilation of life-lessons for those teachers and trainers who are truly lifelong learners.

But the book is much more than tips and tools and techniques. It also provides information on various learning-situation elements—skewed information, perhaps, but as S/oren Kierkegaard observed, “Education without bias is like love without passion.” You’ll hear my educational-beliefs coming through: I don’t believe, for example, in long lectures. I’m opposed to death by PowerPoint. I think people have to get involved in order to get educated. I prefer table groups to lecture-hall seating. I believe, too, that someone has made an investment in the learner—parents, managers, the organization, society, perhaps the learner himself. And investors want a return on their investment. This book has been written to maximize that investment.
