These experts are at once teachers and learners. In these chapters, they generously make public their own \u003ci\u003eprocesses of becoming\u003c\/i\u003e – becoming not only postsecondary educators, but becoming the reflective scholar-leaders we need to tackle some of the most pressing cultural, social and environmental challenges facing communities around the world.\"—Melissa McDaniels, University of Wisconsin-Madison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Blending personal narratives and critical synthesis, this book makes a significant and novel contribution to the literature on both graduate education and SoTL. \u003ci\u003eTeaching as if Learning Matters\u003c\/i\u003e will challenge and inspire anyone interested in graduate students, new faculty, SoTL, or teaching in higher education.\"—Peter Felten, Elon University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eLearning as if Teaching Matters\u003c\/i\u003e offers a welcome and timely look at how graduate students today are learning to teach. Engaging essays by graduate students and their mentors examine how new scholars are tapping higher education's growing teaching commons for ideas to enrich their classroom practice. Highlighting the training pathways these graduate students have travelled, this volume completes the circuit by bringing insights from their experience as instructors and scholars of teaching and learning back to the wider community of college and university educators.\"—Mary Taylor Huber, Contributing Editor, Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"27 years after Barr and Tagg proposed \"a new paradigm for undergraduate education\" by provocatively imagining a shift \"from teaching to learning,\" this book chronicles a new paradigm for graduate education with an integrated vision of \"teaching as if learning matters.\" More broadly, this integration of learning—the teacher-authors' and their students'—into the work of teaching, the book reminds us that good teachers are always becoming.\"—Nancy Chick, Rollins College\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction, by Jennifer Meta Robinson, Valerie Dean O'Loughlin, Laura Plummer, and Katherine Kearns\u003cbr\u003eI.
