Learning as a Way of Leading: Lessons from the Struggle for Social Justice, co-authored with Stephen Preskill (2008) An ideal companion for college and university educators who continue to reflect critically about their teaching practice. Building on the insights of his highly acclaimed earlier work, The Skillful Teacher, Stephen D. Brookfield offers a very personal and accessible guide to how faculty at any level and across all disciplines can improve their teaching.

Create the conditions that facilitate respectful racial dialogue by building trust and effectively negotiating conflict Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher is organized into three sections. In the first section Brookfield gives the context for critical reflection by introducing critical theory as the foundation for reflection, defining three different types of assumptions, and discussing power and hegemony. The second, longer section is devoted to explaining the four lenses of critical reflection: students’ eyes, colleagues’ perceptions, personal experience, and theory. For each lens Brookfield provides exercises and strategies that teachers can use to uncover assumptions. The final section includes new chapters where Brookfield discusses the risks of critical reflection, using social media in the reflection process, teaching about race, and applying critical reflection to leadership.Reading Becoming a Critically Reflective Teacher might require epistemological flexibility for those not accustomed to critical theory, but advisors don’t have to be critical theorists to find value in this work. The strategies Brookfield provides are accessible to advisors interested in developing a conceptual framework of advising that is inclusive and contributing to the scholarship of advising.
