This book is an easy-to-follow, how-to guide for faculty to achieve learning-centered teaching, and also provides readers with increased knowledge about this evidence-based approach to teaching. It will provide specific guidance on how to begin, and how to use the change process gradually to improve teaching. After reading this book, faculty will be able to apply learning-centered teaching in their courses without sacrificing content and rigor. Faculty will be able to explain to students why they are using this approach and how it will foster deep and long-lasting student learning. This is a reworking of the author’s 2009 Jossey-Bass book, called Developing Learner-Centered Teaching: A Practical Guide for Faculty. This new version is revised and expanded in ways that will make it even more useful to faculty than the original. The author is active in the POD Network, and frequently presents at Lilly Bethesda.
