To inspire and educate the faculty members at Lone Star College-Montgomery, Dr. Ken Bain, renowned educational leader and author of “What the Best College Teachers Do,” discussed key elements of his book this past week in front of approximately 120 full-time and adjunct LSC-Montgomery professors.
 
“After hearing his presentation, I hope I can create an environment where deep learning can take place,” said Karen Buckman, professor of psychology at LSC-Montgomery. “I was fascinated by Dr. Bain’s idea that when deep learning occurs, it can answer questions or solve problems that are important, intriguing, or just beautiful.”
 
Bain is currently the vice provost for learning at the Research Academy for University Learning in Montclair, NJ, and a professor of history at Montclair University. His recently-published book, “What the Best College Teachers Do,” (Harvard University Press, 2004), won the 2004 Virginia and Warren Stone Prize for an outstanding book on education and society and has been one of the top selling books on higher education.
