In \u003ci\u003eSuper Courses\u003c\/i\u003e, education expert and bestselling author Ken Bain tells the fascinating story of enterprising college, graduate school, and high school teachers who are using evidence-based approaches to spark deeper levels of learning, critical thinking, and creativity--whether teaching online, in class, or in the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVisiting schools across the United States as well as in China and Singapore, Bain, working with his longtime collaborator, Marsha Marshall Bain, uncovers super courses throughout the humanities and sciences. At the University of Virginia, undergrads contemplate the big questions that drove Tolstoy--by working with juveniles at a maximum-security correctional facility. Harvard physics students learn about the universe not through lectures but from their peers in a class where even reading is a social event. And students at a Dallas high school use dance to develop growth mindsets--and many of them go on to top colleges, including Juilliard. Bain defines these as super courses because they all use powerful researched-based elements to build a \"natural critical learning environment\" that fosters intrinsic motivation, self-directed learning, and self-reflective reasoning. Complete with sample syllabi, the book shows teachers how they can build their own super courses. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe story of a hugely important breakthrough in education, \u003ci\u003eSuper Courses\u003c\/i\u003e reveals how these classes can help students reach their full potential, equip them to lead happy and productive lives, and meet the world's complex challenges.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKen Bain\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning teacher and the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eWhat the Best College Teachers Do\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWhat the Best College Students Do. \u003c\/i\u003eHe taught as a history professor for many years, founded teaching centers at Northwestern, New York, and Vanderbilt universities, and is the president of the Best Teachers Institute.
