In this insightful How to guide, Andrew Corcoran explores strategies for teaching large groups of students across a diverse range of contexts. Chapters present innovative approaches to common challenges, delving into key questions such as how to cater to each individual?s learning needs while avoiding burnout.

Adopting a practical approach, Corcoran draws on his own experiences teaching Business and Management to help educators improve levels of student engagement, manage their workloads and enjoy large group education. He analyses the complications of managing, delivering to, assessing and satisfying hundreds of students, and considers the ongoing challenges associated with growing class sizes in higher education. With detailed examples, model documents and essential teaching resources, the book equips instructors with a toolkit for transforming their methods of teaching at scale, whilst also underscoring the importance of teacher self-care and wellbeing.
