The second edition of this title represents a compilation of work completed by Jim Cooper and his colleagues in the Network for Cooperative Learning in higher education over the last fifteen years, including eight new chapters were written specifically for this edition. It presents a look at the history of small group instruction research, theory and practice and offers a glimpse at the future of this powerful instructional strategy.

This volume contains material on research based teaching techniques for use in higher education. The focus is on small group learning procedures. None of this material has previously appeared in book form. Twenty of the articles first appeared in the Cooperative Learning and College Teaching newsletter that Jim Cooper and Pamela Robinson edited from 1990 to 1999. These articles address applications of small group learning within a variety of academic disciplines.Authors of the articles in this work include David and Roger Johnson, Karl Smith, Joe Cuseo, Susan Prescott Johnston, Spencer Kagan, Rachel Hertz-Lazarowitz, Richard Felder, Barbara Millis and Lisa Gray-Shellberg. Twelve chapters, never before published, were solicited for this volume. Some of these works focus on research and theory in active and small group learning and others address more applied group work in teaching and learning in the college classroom. The chapters are more comprehensive than the newsletter articles and include contributions by David and Roger Johnson, Karl Smith, Spencer Kagan, Barbara Millis, Joe Cuseo, Susan Prescott Johnston, Cynthia Desrochers, Mark Maier, Philip Abrami and Donald Bligh. Topics treated in the new chapters contain recent work in brain-based learning, critical thinking, student engagement, information technology, distance education, and learning communities.Readers of the 2003 book edited by Jim, Pamela and David Ball, Small Group Instruction in Higher Education: Lessons from the Past, Visions of the Future, will want to add this text to their libraries, since none of the material in the current volume appeared in the 2003 book or the 2009 second edition.

Pam Roe, later Robinson, was unprepared for her role as the first female police officer in the City of Gloucester, a small city in Eastern Ontario. Going from a life of fun, friends and summertime frolic along the shores of the St. Lawrence to the everyday miseries of the underside of life made her toughen up quickly. And each day, as she did her job, she withstood the sideways looks, snide remarks and silent antagonism of men who feared she was a threat to them in their careers. She endured. This is her memoir… Looking back on 28 years of policing, I am pleased to say there has been some progress. This memoir was based on my personal experience, and it reflects a sign of the times back in 1983 when I first started my policing career. It is my belief that the implementation of laws within the workplace has played a part but there has also been a shift in the role women play in society today. Women have overcome the traditional stereotype of stay-at-home Moms and have taken on more independent roles within the home and workplace. With more women in the workforce today it has changed the overall outlook and expectations of both men and women. I am very proud of the women who followed in my footsteps and endured some of the things I did and I am also proud of the men who supported this change and accepted women into policing.
