New Books on
Teaching and Learning
 he Center For
Teaching recommends these books as comprehensive resources on
the best knowledge and practices available for effective
teaching and learning. They cover both traditional tasks, such
as delivering a lecture, leading a discussion, conducting a
laboratory; as well as newer, broader concerns, such as
teaching large classes, dealing with disruptive behaviors, and
using instructional media and technology. These and many other
resources can be borrowed from the CFT for on-campus use.
