Pedagogical Partnerships: A How-To Guide for Faculty, Students, and Academic Developers in Higher Education

Alison Cook-Sather, Melanie Bahti, and Anita Ntem

Our Recommendation
Organized around nine key questions, this book walks readers through the process of building a pedagogical partnership program from the ground up. We used this book to guide our conversations as we co-created (with students, faculty, and staff) a pedagogical program at our institution.

Pedagogical Partnerships and its accompanying resources provide step-by-step guidance to support the conceptualization, development, launch, and sustainability of pedagogical partnership programs in the classroom and curriculum. This definitive guide is written for faculty, students, and academic developers who are looking to use pedagogical partnerships to increase engaged learning, create more equitable and inclusive educational experiences, and reframe the traditionally hierarchical structure of teacher-student relationships.

Filled with practical advice, Pedagogical Partnerships provides extensive materials so that readers don’t have to reinvent the wheel, but rather can adapt time-tested strategies and techniques to their own unique contexts and goals.
