About this title

Synopsis

An excellent book for faculty who regard teaching as more than a set of techniques. Menges and Weimer focus on connecting teaching with student learning, and they help faculty develop a systematic inquiry into teaching strategies, as well as showing them how to better utilize students assessment in the classroom.
?Larry Braskamp, dean of the College of Education, University of Illinois, Chicago
