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, through experience, that work to promote learning. Included among these strategies are tips for designing courses and environments that promote learning, including one teacher's suggestion to conduct class like a well run meeting, and another teacher's discovery that the best way to create an environment for learning is to create and teach courses you love.Also included are innovative strategies for 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.
