Discover what’s new in Milady Professional Educator, 4th edition

The world is evolving. The way we teach must, too.

A lot has happened since we released our previous edition in 2014, including a pandemic and racial reckoning. Both continue to influence how we teach. We've kept the best elements from Milady's earlier edition and added in ones that future instructors will need to succeed today—and tomorrow. Have a look at what's new...

Professional Educator CIMA and Textbook

We explore a myriad of engagement methods, from icebreakers to memes to the power of dance. The reformatted text—punchier paragraphs, better graphics, more lists—make it easier to read and absorb. Short animations convey key concepts like peer coaching, academic advising, and mind mapping.

Content that will truly inspire tomorrow's educators

Lists Feature

Competency-based objectives focus on what learners need to become successful instructors. More vibrant visuals help visual learners retain concepts. Check-in questions make for easier monitoring of students' comprehension. And QR codes in the print edition unlock bonus content, like new videos.

Adaptability is the name of the game

Instructor Toolbox QR

If the pandemic taught us anything, it's that educators must know how to adapt. New content explains how to successfully deploy distance learning. This includes discussions on online methods, blended learning, hybrid learning, and the difference between synchronous and asynchronous learning. Smart tips regarding flipped classrooms and how to develop lesson plans in a hybrid/distance program are highlighted throughout the materials as well.

Learning how to manage tomorrow's classroom—with ease

Chapter 6 Opener on iPad

In-depth hypothetical classroom situations encourage tomorrow's educators to think deeply about potential scenarios and how they might handle them. New case studies help illustrate how actual situations played out in real life. We've also expanded our popular "Spotlight on Success" feature to all chapters so that we can highlight philosophies and best practices of successful educators.

Current issues, brought to life

Educators need to teach and mentor all learners, so we’ve updated and integrated inclusive methodology throughout. This effort includes new artwork representing a spectrum of age, gender, ethnic, and ability diversity.

A deeper dive into inclusion and diversity

Diversity and InclusionDiversity and Inclusion

An important goal: To have future educators learn the same way their students will learn—via online means. This edition is exclusively available on CIMA, a completely reimagined digital learning platform from Milady.
