Books on how to teach are usually written by educational researchers or by teachers. The strength of this book is that all three authors are both. They are influential researchers on pedagogy and award-winning teachers. They know how to integrate research, which generally focuses on one or two factors, into the complex whole that is teaching. This book provides readers with a coherent framework for thinking about their teaching, along with evidence-based approaches to use to improve teaching. This book is more than a set of teaching tips. It is a cycle of self-reflection, innovation, assessment, and more self-reflection, to help readers develop into model teachers. -- Stephen L. Chew, Professor of Psychology Samford University, USA; Chair, National Institute on the Teaching of Psychology (NITOP) What a phenomenal resource for the world of college and university teaching. This book skillfully walks the reader through a very detailed playbook on how to work towards becoming a model teacher. With a clear identification of the six areas of model teaching, the authors provide case studies, self-assessment, evidence-based content, and even 5 book suggestions for anyone who desires further study in one of the areas of model teaching. Written in a friendly and fun style, this book is an essential resource for anyone who desired to teach well at the college and university level. -- Todd Zakrajsek, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
