Description:

In this new edition of the classic work, one of the nation′s most highly regarded authorities on effective college teaching offers a comprehensive introduction to the topic of learner–centered teaching in the college and university classroom, including the most up–to–date examples of practice in action from a variety of disciplines, an entirely new chapter on the research support for learner–centered approaches, and a more in–depth discussion of how students′ developmental issues impact the effectiveness of learner–centered teaching. Learner–Centered Teaching shows how to tie teaching and curriculum to the process and objectives of learning rather than to the content delivery alone.
