Teaching on Solid Ground gives practitioners more complete understanding of students and learning. It presents new ways of thinking about instruction, and it explores the issues - including faculty motivation and quality of teaching - that demand faculty attention at the institutional and professional level. Underlying Teaching on Solid Ground is the critical premise that educational researchers and teachers must become partners in the ongoing task of teaching improvement. (From the Publisher)
