Essays on Teaching Excellence

Essays on Teaching Excellence is a series of eight short and succinct scholarly essays distributed by the POD Network on a annual subscription basis. Teaching Excellence presents thoughtful and useful viewpoints from which college teachers can look at their practice of instruction. The ideas expressed range from philosophical views to speculation on the effects of those philosophies. Written in concise and non technical language and supported by current research, the essays in Teaching Excellence will assist instructors to reflect upon and refine their practice of teaching to achieve the results they seek - students learning to the best of their abilities. 

Institutional print subscription allows unlimited reproduction and use within the subscribing institution.  The HTML subscription option is designed to allow institutions to post the essays on center web pages, provided access to the site is controlled.  Teaching Excellence can be inserted into a campus-wide newsletter or distributed on an essay-by-essay basis.  Faculty developers use the essays for workshops, seminars, individual consultation, and classes.  The essays are printed on high-quality paper and are camera-ready for your local copy center.
