Welcome to the Intentional Teaching, a podcast aimed at educators to help them develop foundational teaching skills and explore new ideas in teaching. I’m your host, Derek Bruff.

I directed the Center for Teaching at Vanderbilt University for over a decade, and I’ve worked with faculty and other instructors at dozens of colleges and universities, helping them to become more intentional and effective teachers. I’ve written two books on teaching in higher education: Teaching with Classroom Response Systems: Creating Active Learning Environments and Intentional Tech: Principles to Guide the Use of Educational Technology in College Teaching. It’s that second book, which came out in 2019, that has inspired the title of this podcast and the companion newsletter I send out most Thursdays. I’m using “Intentional Teaching” to indicate that we should be intentional not only in how we teach, but also how we develop as teachers over time. I hope this podcast, featuring interviews with educators and researchers from across higher education, will be a valuable part of your professional development as an educator.
