Teaching to Inspire Vocation
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-6419-9 (ISBN)
A unique handbook for collegiate faculty, instructors, administrators, and graduate students in education to help professional and technical students discover meaning and purpose through their scholarship. College students are looking for more than instrumental career knowledge and skills, they are looking for something to care about and build their lives around: a vocation. This book provides recommendations to enhance and amplify collegiate professional and technical instruction and curricula to support student discernment of vocation. Teaching to Inspire Vocation makes a case for teaching for vocation and provides a historical perspective on vocation in Western education. The core of the book focuses on the specific elements for an instructional framework on teaching for vocation.
Timothy C. Hohn is a retired faculty member and Chair of the Horticulture Department at Edmonds College, where he taught horticulture for 22 years. He received a Masters degree in Public Garden Management from the University of Delaware’s Longwood Program in 1986 and is the author of Curatorial Practices for Botanical Gardens, also by Rowman & Littlefield.
