Stay ConnectedTeaching Cases in the Philanthropic and Nonprofit Sector- eBook
Teaching cases represent an event, a problem, or a decision that needs to be made. In Teaching Cases in the Philanthropic and Nonprofit Sector, students are asked to reflect critically on the situation and work through how they would approach it. The use of teaching cases in the nonprofit classroom is valuable and highly effective. This teaching strategy brings real experiences into the classroom and highlights the diversity of ethical, organizational, governance, and leadership challenges commonly faced in the sector.
The text is organized to support multiple audiences. First, faculty seeking a supplemental learning tool for core themes in nonprofit education can easily identify cases designed to highlight critical issues students will be intrigued by. The second audience is the student; the creative key evidence sections and easy reading style approach make each case welcoming for the reader. Cases integrate theory and practice and continue to help students learn to tolerate ambiguity in decision making. Finally, these cases can provide practitioners with a tool for team development, executive growth, and board development. Through case learning, professionals can evaluate situations that prompt reflection on their own tendencies. Each case provides an opportunity for learning and development for instructors, students, and practitioners alike.
In addition to the case text, the instructor resources included in the online companion material contain teaching notes and recommended readings for guided facilitation techniques and supported teaching methods. Each case comes with additional resources, learning modules, teaching strategies, and learning outcomes.
