Full Description
This comprehensive book explores the challenges and opportunities when teaching public policy courses. Reflecting on political polarisation and the rapidly evolving contemporary environment, the contributors critically engage with course design and structure and offer innovative activities, assignments, and tips for the classroom.
Michelle C. Pautz and Li-Yin Liu bring together expert specialists from a range of backgrounds to examine teaching techniques from diverse public policy learning environments. They explore ways of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into policy education and engaging students in the study of policy to support learning. The book presents assignment examples that connect theory to real-world policy practice. It also provides guidance on inclusive teaching strategies and how to build rapport with students to enhance their learning.
Teaching Public Policy is a helpful resource for both novice and experienced educators as well as researchers of public policy, political science and public administration. Its discussions around classroom dynamics and nontraditional assignments will help instructors to conceptualize their courses, tackle key challenges, and think about new approaches to student engagement.
