Publisher Synopsis
"I've read countless books on teaching strategies over the years, and I can't think of one that compares--in depth, breadth, accessibility, and practicality--to this one. Tools 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 who are seeking ways to make their teaching more effective. This book is the kind of resource that will wind up not on faculty members' bookshelves but on their desks and in their briefcases." (Larry A. Braskamp, dean of the College of Education, University of Illinois, Chicago) Read more...
