Improving Learning and Mental Health in the College Classroom by Robert Eaton

While much has been written about higher educations mental health crisis, very little research focuses on the role played by those on campus whose influence on student well-being may well be greatest: teachers. Drawing from interviews with students and the scholarship of teaching and learning, this book helps correct that oversight.

“This is a necessary book for anyone who teaches in higher educationBy weaving together research and practice, the authors show faculty how small steps we take can contribute to improved learning and mental health for our students.”—Peter Felten, coauthor of Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College

“Mental health challenges for college students are at a crisis point, and this book is a must-read for instructors. Readers will gain understanding of how mental health issues can obstruct learning, and of how to build a toolkit of research-based teaching practices designed to mitigate harmful stressors and promote learning. Intentional design choices lend structured support to those who need it most, and can benefit all students during the transformative college years.”—Jenny Frederick, Yale University

“A readable synthesis of the research into student mental well-being. The authors provide plenty of relevant and actionable advice on how faculty can effectively incorporate attention to mental health into their daily teaching practices.”—Jason Pickavance, Salt Lake Community College
