Teaching in Eden provides any teacher with powerful and virtually free tools that he or she can use to alter the fundamental nature of the educational experience. The tools are simple instructional devices that require only a teacher's time, and the courage to break out of the existing constraints to discover and assemble the elements of an ideal instructional environment.
"Teaching in Eden" is about a teacher's rebellion against the paradigms of higher education as they are manifested in the trenches. This book comes out of Janovy's quarter century of teaching science at Cedar Point.
