Teaching for Learning

Despite a growing body of research on teaching methods, instructors lack a comprehensive resource that highlights and synthesizes proven approaches. Teaching for Learning fills that gap. Each of the one hundred and one entries: * describes an approach and lists its essential features and elements * demonstrates how that approach has been used in education, including specific examples from different disciplines * reviews findings from the research literature * describes techniques to improve effectiveness. Teaching for Learning provides instructors with a resource grounded in the academic knowledge base, written in an easily accessible, engaging, and practical style.
