What makes a good college teacher? This book provides an evidence-
based answer to that question by presenting a set of "model
teaching characteristics" that define what makes a good college
teacher. Based on six fundamental areas of teaching competency
known as Model Teaching Characteristics outlined by The Society for
the Teaching of Psychology (STP), this book describes how college
faculty from all disciplines and at all levels of experience can
use these characteristics to evaluate, guide, and improve their
teaching. Evidence based research supports the inclusion of each
characteristic, each of which is illustrated through example, to
help readers master the skills. Readers learn to evaluate their
teaching abilities by providing guidance on what to document and
how to accumulate and organize the evidence. Two introductory
chapters outline the model teaching characteristics followed by six
chapters, each devoted to one of the characteristics: training,
instructional methods, course content, assessment, syllabus
construction, and student evaluations. The book: -Features in each
chapter self-evaluation surveys that help readers identify gaps
between the model characteristics and their own teaching, case
studies that illustrate common teaching problems, discussion
questions that encourage critical thinking, and additional readings
for further exploration. -Discusses the need to master teaching
skills such as collaborative learning, listening, and using
technology as well as discipline-specific knowledge. -Advocates for
the use of student-learning outcomes to help teachers better
evaluate student performance based on their achievement of specific
learning goals. -Argues for the development of learning objectives
that reflect the core of the discipline's theories and
applications, strengthen basic liberal arts skills, and infuse
ethical and diversity issues. -Discusses how to solicit student
feedback and utilize these evaluations to improve teaching.
Intended for professional development or teacher training courses
offered in masters and doctoral programs in colleges and
universities, this book is also an invaluable resource for faculty
development centers, college and university administrators, and
college teachers of all levels and disciplines, from novice to the
most experienced, interested in becoming more effective teachers.
