Shows where and how exemplary teaching is practiced in U.S. higher
education and charts a course for cultivating teaching improvement
throughout all types of institutions. Great College Teaching
highlights where and how exemplary teaching is practiced in U.S.
higher education and charts a course for cultivating teaching
improvement throughout all types of institutions. As Corbin
Campbell reveals in this incisive work, although teaching quality
is rarely reflected in college rankings such as those produced by
U.S. News and World Report, this metric has implications not only
for student outcomes such as subject-matter knowledge and
preparation for careers but also for college prestige, educational
equity, and even democracy. Campbell draws from a
multi-institutional observational study that covered more than 700
higher education courses in a range of contexts, from regional
public universities to highly ranked private universities, from
small liberal arts colleges to large flagship universities. She
examines what each type of institution typically excels at and
where they often fall short. In 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. This 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 Great College
Teaching 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.Â
