Beskrivning
With campuses seeing greater numbers of neurodivergent students, and neurodivergence becoming a larger component of inclusive education, Classroom Mindscapes offers a much-needed primer in the concept, terms, and history of neurodiversity for college faculty and staff, as well as a clear overview of its relationship to disability and its role and potential applications in higher education. Written by a neurodivergent scholar and faculty developer, the book provides curious educators with an informed, practical introduction to what neurodiversity is, where it comes from, and what it means for teaching and learning.Although neurodiversity and disability are overlapping concepts, Sarah E. Silverman draws out the significant differences between such categories—and reveals how the system of disability accommodations in higher education does not always support neurodivergent students and staff. Accordingly, she introduces an approach called "teaching in the neurodiversity paradigm," which views teaching as a practice of navigation and negotiation among multiple, sometimes contrasting needs of students and teachers. This approach targets certain "pressure points" in the classroom, where neurodiversity comes to bear, such as group assignments, class participation expectations, and practical activities like labs. Illustrated with anecdotes from Silverman's own experience and consulting work, her book gives readers a useful, thought-provoking firsthand look at the complexity and opportunity offered when we view teaching and learning through the lens of neurodiversity.

"Timely and human-centered…Classroom Mindscapes will help educators be more aware of the needs of neurodivergent learners. No other book manages to give as comprehensive a look at neurodiversity, its history, and its impact on higher education. As a multiply-neurodivergent educator and lifelong learner, I appreciated the blend of research and reflective narratives, along with the tangible suggestions and invitations for using its lessons."—Elizabeth A. Norell, author of The Present Professor: Authenticity and Transformational Teaching"Silverman's writing is thoughtful, funny, and has the right dose of nuance . . . She gives us the knowledge and guidance to build our capacity for complexity and treat all students with respect and humility." —Christina Moore, author of Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning: Harnessing the Technology Students Use Most"Classroom Mindscapes will prove incredibly helpful to higher ed instructors at every level, and at every stage of their careers. It is a work of history, critical disability studies, educational studies, and pedagogical development. I could not be more appreciative of and delighted by this text." —Catherine J. Denial, author of A Pedagogy of Kindness
