Synopsis

Too often, new college educators learn to become teachers using the baptism-by-fire approach. If they are lucky, new occupational therapy educators have supportive mentors. More is needed however, especially the practical advice of day-to-day teaching.

Clinician to Educator: What Experts Know in Occupational Therapy is a monograph of several articles and briefs for the new occupational therapy educator. College educators with teaching experience share their tips and strategies for managing both their day-to-day teaching life and their academic career. This monograph will help graduate students in occupational therapy education courses, clinicians thinking about teaching part-time, and new faculty looking for tips in their new position.
