Reflective Teaching in Higher Education is the definitive textbook for those wanting to excel at teaching in the sector. Informed by the latest research in this area, the book offers extensive support for those at the start of an academic career and career-long professionalism for those teaching in higher education. Written by an international collaborative author team of experts led by Paul Ashwin, Reflective Teaching in Higher Education offers two levels of support:
- practical guidance for day-to-day teaching, covering key issues such as strategies for improving learning, teaching and assessment, curriculum design, relationships, communication, and inclusion
- evidence-informed 'principle's to aid understanding of how theories can effectively inform teaching practices, offering ways to develop a deeper understanding of teaching and learning in higher education

In addition to new case studies from a wider variety of countries than ever before, this new edition includes discussion of:
- What is meant by 'agency'
- Gender, ethnicity, disability and university teaching
- Digital learning spaces and social media
- Teaching career development for academics
- Decolonising the curriculum
- Assessment and feedback practices
- Teaching excellence and 'learning gain'
- 2015 UN General Assembly 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
