Synopsis

This book takes a comprehensive look at how colleges and universities can improve support for teaching at the institutional level and deliver the transformative learning experiences we promise.

The Best Place to Learn is a guide for higher education leaders who want to foster a culture of evidence-informed teaching and transformative learning at their institutions. Joe O'Shea, Leslie Richardson, and Jen Bartman provide readers with a blueprint for facilitating institutional change, drawn from extensive education research and their experience enhancing teaching support in ways that drove award-winning graduation rates at Florida State University.

By reading this book, you will learn:

  • Why leaders struggle to focus on supporting faculty in their teaching
  • How to identify institutional strengths and areas for growth
  • How to shift the culture of teaching and creating the conditions for lasting improvement 
     

Arguing that leaders must support teaching transformation at a structural level, The Best Place to Learn offers in-depth guidance for improving student success by building more robust and strategic support for teaching. It serves as an engaging resource for deans, provosts, chairs, and other leaders who strive to make their institutions places where students and faculty can prosper.
