TOOLS

for

TEACHING

I've read countless books on teaching strategies over the years, and I can't think of one that comp ares— in

depth, breadth, accessibility, and practicality—to this one.

Ibas for Teaching

has much to say to teachers of

all ranks, disciplines, and institutions.



—

Mary Deane Sorcinelli director Center for Teaching University of Massachusetts Amherst

A 'tool chest' of strategies for those wh o are seeking w ays to m ake their teaching mo re effective. This book is

the kind of resource that will wind up not on faculty mem bers' bookshelves but on their desks and in their

briefcases.

Larry A. Braskamp dean of the College of Education University of Illinois Chicago

Tools for Teaching is as readable and com prehensive a collection of u seful teaching techniques as I've seen in

a long time. Ex perienced and novice instructors looking to imprové their overall teaching, or simply to add

a few new techniques to their repertoire, will find this book both interesting and useful.

Tools for Teaching is

a rich compendium of classroom-tested strategies and suggestions designed to

improve the teaching practice of beginning, midcareer, and senior faculty members. Forty-nine teaching

tools organized into twelve sections, cover both traditional tasks—writing a course syllabus, delivering

an effective lecture—and newer, broader, concerns, such as responding to diversity and using technology.

Each tool includes a brief introduction, a set of general strategies, and concise descriptions of practi-

cal ideas culled from distinguished teachers, as well as from the literature on teaching and learning.

The tools are designed to be read and psed independently and function as a daily reference for

faculty who are looking for the best knowledge and practices available on effective teaching. From design-

ing and offering a new course to tackling the problems of burnout or stagnation,

Tools for Teaching

pro-

vides faculty members with the information they need to improve and revitalize their courses.
