Remembering Ken Bain, with Dave Stachowiak

Today on episode 594 of the Teaching and Higher Ed podcast, Remembering Ken Bain. Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. Welcome to this episode of Teaching in Higher Ed. I'm Bonnie Stahoviak and this is the space where we explore the art and science of being more effective. at facilitating learning.

We also share ways to improve our productivity approaches so we can have more peace in our lives and be even more present for our students. Hello, it's Dave Stehoviak and I am joined by Bonnie and we are here today to share unfortunately some sad news and there may be uh a few tears along the way but still some hope. I'm sharing a social media post by James Lang, and I'll just read right from what James posted. He writes, I learned some sad news over the weekend. Ken Bain, the author of What the Best College Teachers Do and several other books, passed away on Friday in the company of his family.

Ken was one of the pioneers in bringing the scholarship of teaching and learning to broad audiences, as well as being a talented writer and inspiring speaker and workshop leader. Ken gave me my first job, mentored me for many years, and never stopped commending and promoting my work. I would not have had a career in faculty development without him. I hope to write something more formal about his life and influence in the coming weeks. If you knew Ken and his work and it influenced you in some way, feel free to share in the comments below.
