Why It Matters
- Colleges that strive to reach and teach every student must regularly assess the effectiveness of their teaching and learning practices.
- To meet the needs of today’s students, faculty must let go of yesterday’s playbooks and employ modern, impactful classroom strategies.
- Effective change requires the design of more dynamic, relevant, and culturally responsive courses — and professional development that increases the capacity for change.
