Faculty Guidebook: A Comprehensive Tool for Improving Faculty Performance

The Faculty Guidebook is the product of more than sixteen years worth of accumulated knowledge, experience, research, and collaboration. It serves as an up-to-date forum for sharing wisdom gained from years of experience and rapidly disseminating new practices and tools required by expanded communities of 'settlers.' While a wide variety of topics are included in the Guidebook, the modular format makes it easy for readers to focus on a subset of proven learning and teaching tools and slowly expand their repertoire. The book is also a place in which to engage in the emerging scholarship of teaching and learning en route to publication in disciplinary-specific journals. Topics are wide-ranging, covering the areas of educational philosophy, learning theory, mentoring, creating quality learning environments, facilitation, teaching practices and learning tools, assessment, measurement and evaluation, instructional design, and program assessment.
