Learning used to be taken for granted by teachers. No more. Growing numbers of teachers realize that teaching does not always promote learning. More Quick Hits offers simple but successful strategies that award-winning teachers have found promote learning.
Included among these strategies are tips for designing courses and environments that promote learning, and advice on creating learning communities — communities where not only students learn, but teachers do too.
More Quick Hits also includes special sections on service and learning, technology and learning, and using assessment and evaluation for learning. Finally, More Quick Hits offers thoughts on how teachers themselves learn about teaching, including through their mistakes. An annotated "Quick List" of weightier resources on teaching and learning is included at the end of the volume, and "Quick Wits" — words and pictures to both encourage and amuse — are sprinkled throughout the book.
