She examines what each type of institution typically excels at and where they often fall short.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn mapping the terrain of teaching quality in higher education today, Campbell parses out the best practices of exemplary teaching institutions, in which evidenced-based practices such as equity-based and culturally relevant teaching support student learning, and teaching-supportive institutions, in which policies and cultures prioritize teaching and promote faculty development.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis clear-eyed work provides options for enacting real, sustainable teaching improvements by using individual, collegial, and organizational levers to shift perceptions and priorities around teaching. The actionable practices and policies suggested in\u003ci\u003e Great College Teaching\u003c\/i\u003e can be adopted by academic leaders, administrators, and faculty developers to improve teaching within a spectrum of academic contexts, across multiple disciplines, and for various course settings.","brand":"Harvard Educational Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50469818728791,"sku":"9781682537923","price":30.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781682537923.jpg?v=1744896372","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/great-college-teaching-where-it-happens-and-how-to-foster-it-everywhere-9781682537923","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
