"Her advice is well grounded in research and consistently reflects best practices. Whereas some books in this area reflect the author's experiences or received wisdom, Davis draws on recent scholarship of teaching and learning to support her assertions. <p>There are many strengths to this book. First, it is helpfully organized as a reference guide. Readers can consult chapters as needed and do not have to read it from cover to cover. It is easy to find targeted suggestions to enhance performance or remedy a problem in a specific area. Moreover, Davis writes concisely and in very practical terms. Second, <i>Tools for Teaching</i> is applicable to a wide range of audiences across disciplines and experience levels.</p> <p>In sum, this updated edition of <i>Tools for Teaching</i> is a thorough compendium of effective teaching practices. If I were to select only one book to give to a colleague or graduate student to help him or her teach, it would be this text."</p> <p>--American Psychological Association PsycCritiques Vol 54, Release 43, Article 9 (October 28, 2009)</p>
<p><b>THE AUTHOR</b> <p><b>Barbara Gross Davis</b> is assistant vice provost for undergraduate education at the University of California at Berkeley. Her areas of interest include teaching, learning, and evaluation in higher education.
<p>This thoroughly revised and updated edition of Barbara Gross Davis's classic book <i>Tools for Teaching</i> presents the very latest in ideas and strategies for college teaching: hundreds of tools, tips, and methods, all grounded in research and best practices of faculty. Topics from the bestselling first edition have been extensively updated, and new sections have been added to reflect recent developments in classroom and online technology.</p> <p><b>Praise for the Second Edition of <i>Tools for Teaching</i></b></p> <p>"Teachers, from novices to veterans, will find Davis's new work the indispensable toolbox for constructing, remodeling, or fixing almost anything related to teaching. Chock-full of practical description and complete with citations for finding further information, this is the book that every serious teacher will turn to again and again." <br />- <b>K. Patricia Cross</b>, David Gardner Professor of Higher Education, emeritus, University of California, Berkeley, and coauthor, <i>Classroom Assessment Techniques</i> and <i>Collaborative Learning Techniques</i></p> <p>"Teaching is in part an art, but even great artists need good tools. The second edition of <i>Tools for Teaching</i> is even better than the first. It builds on the strengths of the earlier edition and covers many new topics that teachers in the age of PowerPoint, laptops, and Web 2.0 need to master. Every teacher deserves a resource like <i>Tools for Teaching</i>; institutions that care about teaching and learning should make sure each one of them gets a copy."<br /><b>- Peter Landsberger</b>, former chancellor, Los Angeles Community Colleges</p> <p>"Using the latest research on teaching and learning as a foundation, this book summarizes the wisdom of teaching effectiveness. I will have this book on my desk, not my shelf, when I teach."<br /> - <b>Larry Braskamp</b>, distinguished alumni professor, Central College, and coauthor, <i>Putting Students First</i></p>
