Overview
- A comprehensive analysis of program development, implementation, dissemination, and institutionalization
- A study over a 10 year period, with data from dozens of institutions, scores of faculty, and hundreds of students
- A model that can be used for the development and study of other programs
- Grounded in solid theory, with a thoroughly practical approach
- Useful to administrators (Chairs, Deans and Provosts) who evaluate new methods of teaching and who wish to evaluate and reward faculty engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
This book is a must read for anyone writing their first proposal for NSF's TUES (formerly CCLI) program!
Overall, I believe that this book will become an important resource for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty because Gafney and Varma-Nelson offer insight in addition to knowledge they have gained. Most importantly, this book should have broad appeal because the authors are able to get their points across with clarity and rigor without getting bogged down with too much jargon.

“The authors’ focus is to describe the mechanics of developing an initiative locally, expanding it to a national level, and evaluating its impacts on multiple sets of stakeholders. … the goal of this book is to offer a ‘big picture’ account; thus, readers must consult individual papers to get details of the studies. … Overall, I believe that this book will become an important resource for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) faculty … .” (Gautam Bhattacharyya, Journal of Chemical Education, December, 2010)Authors and Affiliations
