The central mission of the Christian A. Johnson Institute for Effective Teaching is to help faculty improve their understanding of how students learn, and to help them develop new strategies for teaching that better facilitate learning. The Institute is a home for faculty programs, projects, and initiatives that focus on deliberate, reflective, and ongoing studies and practice of effective teaching. This office ... provides direction in the area of institutional effectiveness. Specifically, this includes developing and implementing procedures for setting learning goals, planning educational activities, and establishing evaluation procedures for classes, general education categories, and academic majors in order to enhance student learning.

Written by the author of the highly successful Essential Teaching Skills, Effective Teaching in Schools is the ideal introduction to what defines good teaching. Recognising the shift of teacher training towards more teaching practice, the book combines depth and authoritative coverage in its treatment of the key theory with the conciseness and strongly practical focus students need to reflect creatively on their teaching experience. It is the ideal bridge between the theory students need to put their experience in context and the practice which allows them to build on theoretical work where it matters: in the classroom.
