Product Description 
An Evidence-based Guide to College and University Teaching outlines a definition of "model teaching" based on research evidence and accepted best practices in high education.\nTeachers at all levels of skill and experience can benefit from clear, objective guidelines for defining and measuring quality teaching. To fulfil this need, this book outlines six fundamental areas of teaching competency―model teaching characteristics―and provides detailed definitions of each characteristic. The authors define these essential characteristics as training, course content, the assessment process, instructional methods, syllabus construction, and the use of student evaluations. This guide outlines through research and supplemental evidence how each characteristic can be used toward tenure, promotion, teaching portfolios, and general professional development. Additional features include a self-assessment tool that corresponds to the model teaching characteristics, case studies illustrating common teaching problems, and lists of "must reads" about college teaching. \nAn Evidence-based Guide to College and University Teaching describes how college faculty from all disciplines and at all levels of their career – from graduate students to late-career faculty – can use the model teaching characteristics to evaluate, guide, and improve their teaching. The book is additionally useful for teachers, trainers, and administrators responsible for promoting excellence in college teaching. 
 Review 
"Books on how to teach are usually written by educational researchers or by teachers. The strength of this book is that all three authors are both. They are influential researchers on pedagogy and award-winning teachers. They know how to integrate research, which generally focuses on one or two factors, into the complex whole that is teaching. This book provides readers with a coherent framework for thinking about their teaching, along with evidence-based approaches to use to improve teaching. This book is more than a set of teaching tips. It is a cycle of self-reflection, innovation, assessment, and more self-reflection, to help readers develop into model teachers." -- Stephen L. Chew, Professor of Psychology Samford University, USA; Chair, National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology (NITOP) 
"What a phenomenal resource for the world of college and university teaching. This book skillfully walks the reader through a very detailed playbook on how to work towards becoming a model teacher. With a clear identification of the six areas of model teaching, the authors provide case studies, self-assessment, evidence-based content, and even 5 book suggestions for anyone who desires further study in one of the areas of model teaching. Written in a friendly and fun style, this book is an essential resource for anyone who desired to teach well at the college and university level." -- Todd Zakrajsek, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA\nAbout the Author

An Evidence-based Guide to College and University Teaching

What makes a good college teacher? This book provides an evidence- based answer to that question by presenting a set of "model teaching characteristics" that define what makes a good college teacher. Based on six fundamental areas of teaching competency known as Model Teaching Characteristics outlined by The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (STP), this book describes how college faculty from all disciplines and at all levels of experience can use these characteristics to evaluate, guide, and improve their teaching. Evidence based research supports the inclusion of each characteristic, each of which is illustrated through example, to help readers master the skills. Readers learn to evaluate their teaching abilities by providing guidance on what to document and how to accumulate and organize the evidence. Two introductory chapters outline the model teaching characteristics followed by six chapters, each devoted to one of the characteristics: training, instructional methods, course content, assessment, syllabus construction, and student evaluations. The book: -Features in each chapter self-evaluation surveys that help readers identify gaps between the model characteristics and their own teaching, case studies that illustrate common teaching problems, discussion questions that encourage critical thinking, and additional readings for further exploration. -Discusses the need to master teaching skills such as collaborative learning, listening, and using technology as well as discipline-specific knowledge. -Advocates for the use of student-learning outcomes to help teachers better evaluate student performance based on their achievement of specific learning goals. -Argues for the development of learning objectives that reflect the core of the discipline‘s theories and applications, strengthen basic liberal arts skills, and infuse ethical and diversity issues. -Discusses how to solicit student feedback and utilize these evaluations to improve teaching. Intended for professional development or teacher training courses offered in masters and doctoral programs in colleges and universities, this book is also an invaluable resource for faculty development centers, college and university administrators, and college teachers of all levels and disciplines, from novice to the most experienced, interested in becoming more effective teachers.
